Apollo Quiboloy arrested – level 2
16-09-2024 07:00
Police in the Philippines arrested Apollo Quiboloy, a famous religious leader.
Both the US and Philippine authorities want Quiboloy for child sex trafficking. Quiboloy gave himself up after police searched his large home in Davao for two weeks. He and four others will go to court for child abuse, sexual abuse, and human trafficking. The Philippines has no plans to send him to the US right now.
Quiboloy has millions of followers worldwide and is the leader of a church called the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. He was close to former president Rodrigo Duterte, which made him very powerful. US authorities believe that Quiboloy brought children and women to the US to beg for money, which he kept for himself.
Difficult words: trafficking (buying and selling things and people illegally), abuse (to use someone or something for doing something bad), beg (to ask for money).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What charges are Apollo Quiboloy and four others facing in court, and what is the suspected method he used to exploit children and women according to US authorities?
