An FBI raid revealed 57 victims of forced labor living in cramped quarters at a lavish Florida mansion connected to the leaders of a church, federal officials say.
The raid, which targeted a Tampa mansion where one of the leaders lived, was carried out in August, but recently filed court records brought new details to light, including the scale of the organization’s alleged illegal operations, WTVT reported.
David Taylor, 53, and Michelle Brannon, 56, are accused of running a forced labor and money laundering scheme through their church, Kingdom of God Global Church, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The church is headquartered in Michigan.
Slaves? There’s a word for that right. It’s slaves. What’s this forced labour
I just said that exact thing to my wife after reading. They need to call that shit what it is.
And it’s not underage sex, it’s RAPE.
Child rape… Specificity is important there.
YES, thank you for that correction. It is an important distinction.
We can’t otherwise the centrists will get upset.
Florida doesn’t recognize that word. It’s too “woke”.
Is it woke to be a slave master?
Only on grinder ;)
Fuck religion.
It’s a fucking cancer
Ah, see. That’s where they fracked up. Global Church. Go with the times… It’s America first. Heil Agent Orange, the piper that needs to get paid.
Modern slavery. Call it what it is.

Presidental pardon in 3…
I hate how true this is.
Must be one of those transgender churches I keep hearing about.
Not to belittle their plight in OP, and their are degrees of it, but nearly half of Murcans are victims of systemic forced labour IMO
There are forced labourers, and then there are slaves.
