Chesterfield County Commonwealth’s Attorney Stacey Davenport's office set aside prostitution charges against the senior pastor of Rock Church in Virginia Beach.
Stacey Davenport, a Republican, was seeking a second-term as Chesterfield Commonwealth's Attorney when she came under fire for her office's handling of a prostitution-related case against Rock Church senior pastor John Blanchard.
Despite a special prosecutor concluding that prostitution-related charges brought against him by local police nearly two years ago were "sound," a Virginia judge agreed last Wednesday to expunge the case from the record of Rock Church International Senior Pastor John Blanchard.
A judge agreed to clear John Blanchard's record in court, nearly two years after Chesterfield County police arrested him for alleged solicitation of prostitution.
