Sex, threats rock VI church mission overseas
A member of the church community in the Virgin Islands is embroiled in an alleged scandal of biblical proportions in a tale that seems to be one of love gone wrong, resulting in possible attempts at extortion and threats.
This news site has been sent a number of back and forth email correspondences pointing to allegations of broken promises and sexual exploitation.
It all stemmed following the visit of a group of persons mainly from a particular church in the territory involved in a humanitarian project in a country in Africa.
It is alleged that during a humanitarian mission, certain occurrences took place between rational, consenting adults.
However, this news site began to receive email complaints from a female purportedly from a certain country in Africa alleging sexual exploitation between a male of the church community in the territory and herself.
There are many allegations which this news site, being known for its good reputation, would not dignify or attempt to legitimise by mentioning them.
However, two of the allegations stand out from among the rest; the allegation of sexual exploitation and the counter allegation of extortion for monetary gain.
According to the email, the woman alleges that the male member of the church community in the VI had a sexual relationship with her and made certain promises that he allegedly failed to live up to.
However, the female in the scenario is seen making threats and demanding that a certain sum of money is sent to her.
When this news site made attempts reach the male person to whom the allegation of sexual extortion is made, we got no answer from his phone. We emailed the female purportedly from Africa as to her true intentions and her alleged threatening language witnessed in her earlier email and she responded, reiterating that she would “deal with” the person in question.
“My statement still stands…I'll personally deal with (name given),” she wrote.
In an earlier email, she demanded the sum of $5,000 be paid to her by the person whom allegedly had her attention while in Africa.
When we approached a senior member of the church to whom the male subject reportedly belongs, the person said it is a private issue between two adults and that we should seek responses from each of them.
“I think you should get responses from (name given). It is a personal matter between two adults and I don’t know what happened,” said the elder of the church.
Wrong story
The woman is also alleging that another news site got the story wrong. She said that it was one-sided and had factual errors.
“It's unfortunate that the (news site’s name given) published the wrong information without doing forensic investigations. A media house is supposed to only hide the identity of a person [for reasons] but give the people the correct news. They should have also [contacted] me either on Skype, telephone, or get a detailed Email from me, instead of getting [false] story from one side.
"They don't know that they can be sued for soiling/tarnishing my name? If you read the article it’s only based on one side,” she wrote in response to our inquiry.
The alleged victim of sexual exploitation said, “There is freedom of expression and if a media house publishes an article in their own interest, then it's too bad. They should be professional.”

Further implications of that truth: a man who does not love himself surely cannot love another...it is impossible. One must first have love for themself and then they will be able to give true love.
I know exactly the church and pastor involved. Guess someone more interested in planting the seed...
It's pure gossip!
“I think you should get responses from (name given). It is a personal matter between two adults and I don’t know what happened,” said the elder of the church.)
...So any man in his church who wish to go on future mission trips may feel free to have sex with anyone they meet after doing God's work and his church feels that this is a private matter between the two. (Christian fellowship in the day in exchange for sex at night 'between two consensual adults', so this is the new world order of the church? sex for charitywork)
1 Corinthians 5:1
1It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife. 2You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.…
