Hearing Set in Suit over Tulsa Church Abuse Case
Fox 23
A hearing is planned over a civil lawsuit filed by the mother of an underage girl who was raped by a former employee on the campus of Victory Christian Center. The Tulsa megachurch is asking that the civil suit be dismissed, arguing that the girl's mother is not entitled to any relief under the law. Ex-janitor Chris Denman was sentenced to 55 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple sex-related charges. Denman admitted raping the 13-year-old girl in a stairwell on church property. The lawsuit accuses employees of trying to cover up the abuse by not reporting the August rape to the authorities while it did an in-house investigation. The mother is seeking more than $75,000 in damages. The hearing is set for Monday at the Tulsa County courthouse.
