TOLEDO, Ohio A victim who was groomed, trafficked and assaulted as a minor by three former Toledo pastors has filed a federal lawsuit against the pastors, their families, hotels, churches and a business for crimes related to child sex trafficking and negligence that allowed it to continue.
The lawsuit was filed by a Jane Doe, who was a minor during what the lawsuit describes as years of abuse by former pastors Anthony Haynes, Cordell Jenkins and Kenneth Butler.
Doe and her mother attended church at the Greater Life Christian Center, where Anthony Haynes served as a pastor. When he learned that Doe s father was absent in her life, Haynes spoke before his congregation and pledged to become a father figure to Doe.
