The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has sanctioned Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder and pastor Apollo Carreon Quiboloy over alleged serious human rights abuse, amid the recognition of the International Anti-Corruption Day and Human Rights Day., the US Department of Treasury said Quiboloy was among the over 40 individuals and entities that were sanctioned due to their supposed connection to corruption or human rights abuse across nine countries.
It mentioned a federal indictment in 2021 that alleged Quiboloy was involved in sex trafficking “pastorals,” or young women in the KOJC chosen to work as personal assistants for the pastor. "Quiboloy exploited his role within the KOJC to rape his victims and subject them to other physical abuse, describing these acts as sacrifices required by the Bible and by God for the victims’ salvation. The pastorals, who were mostly minors when initially abused by Quiboloy, were told by him to 'offer your body as a living sacrifice,'" the OFAC said.
The OFAC also alleged Quiboloy had subjected pastorals and other KOJC members to other forms of physical abuse, including personally beating the victims and sending them to “Upper Six,” a walled compound used solely for punishment.
