	US Preacher Faces Pornography Charges in Kenya EarthTimes June 25, 2009 http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/274758,us-preacher-faces-pornography-charges-in-kenya.html Nairobi - Kenyan police were Thursday investigating accusations that an American preacher has been moonlighting as a trafficker of pornographic images. 50-year-old Thomas Manton, of the Dominion International church, was Wednesday denied bail after being arrested for allegedly producing pornography with the intention to distribute it. A lawyer for Manton - who describes himself as "God's Voice to the Nations" on his website - told the Daily Nation that the allegations were part of a scheme to extort money from his client. Manton is the second foreign religious figure to face sex accusations in recent weeks. Italian Catholic priest Renato Kizito Sesana has faced allegations in the press of abusing young boys under the care of his Koinoina community, which helps street children. Father Kizito says that the allegations are part of a conspiracy to wrest control of the Koinoina community from him. The priest has received backing from former Koinoina children and colleagues, who suggest that several youngsters were paid to make the allegations. No charges have been brought against Kizito.
