MANILA (Reuters) – Philippine celebrity pastor Apollo Quiboloy, the self-proclaimed “Appointed Son of God”, pleaded not guilty on Friday to a charge of sex trafficking, his lawyer said.
Quiboloy, who is facing a raft of charges in the Philippines and the United States including sex trafficking, money laundering and child abuse, was arrested on Sunday after a weeks-long search of his church’s sprawling 30-hectare (74-acre) compound by more than 2,000 security personnel.
