Hearing reset for Tulsa church rape suspect
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A former Tulsa church employee accused of raping a 13-year-old girl and other sex crimes will be arraigned in district court next week.
Twenty-year-old Chris Denman faces charges of raping the 13-year-old on the Victory Christian Center campus in August.
He's also charged with molesting a 15-year-old girl and making a lewd proposal to a 12-year-old girl.
A judge on Monday reset Denman's hearing date to Oct. 29.
Another ex-Victory employee, 23-year-old Israel Castillo, is charged with making a lewd proposal to a 15-year-old girl and using a computer to commit a sex crime. Castillo is due in court Tuesday for his preliminary hearing.
Five employees of the worldwide ministry are facing misdemeanor charges for waiting two weeks after the 13-year-old was allegedly raped to report it to authorities.
