Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN) Scandal
According to This Article in the Orange County Register, a lawsuit filed in Orange County (CA) Superior Court by Joseph McVeigh alleges "Cover-ups of sexual and criminal scandals" at the Trinity Broadcasting Netork (TBN).
It seems that even Paul and Jan Crouch may not be immune to greed, lust, and prideful displays of wealth.

We have all sinned. That is why we need to bathe ourselves in the precious Blood of Christ which was shed for the remission of our sins.

Being "religious" doesn't preclude sin, but I wonder why some prominent "religious" figures seem to get caught up in sins that many non-religious people wouldn't dream of doing.
If they broke the law, then they should be judged according to the law (not to any extent greater or less) as any other non-religious person or organization would be judged.
If it's true, the hypocrisy bothers me, but I think that's a separate issue.
Edit - for terminology

Because they know that religion is a racket. It was exactly this racket that made them rich and prominent after all. And once people are rich and/or influential, they stop acting like ordinary human beings and use their power over others in ways that would never occur to a decent middle class person. Nothing short of money and power is so tightly linked to sex scandals and abuse as religion.
^^^Yes. And at least as far back as the Crusades.
I picked "other", but only because I didn't fully agree with the technicality of "fullest extent of the law"...just normal extent of the law is fine with me.
edit to add: I've been on a jury, and it's not easy sometimes when evidence is stacked against the accused, but still, it is supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty".

I picked "other" in order to indicate that the final two options (except "other") are both true in this case.

Any real Christian knows that doesn't give them a pass from punishment by the legal system.
I voted for prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
