WORCESTER — The co-founder of the Church of the End Times in Uxbridge was acquitted Thursday on a charge of violating an abuse prevention order obtained against him by his estranged wife.
It took a Central District Court jury less than 20 minutes of deliberations to find Dennis H. Stanley, 36, not guilty of the charge, which resulted from an allegation by Beth Ellen Stanley that her estranged husband came within 100 yards of her home at 41 Murphy’s Way, Uxbridge, on Oct. 21, in violation of the restraining order.
Ms. Stanley testified that she was looking out an upstairs window in the direction of her brother-in-law’s house at 51 Murphy’s Way on the afternoon of Oct. 21 when she saw her husband walking from the area of Route 122 toward his brother David’s home.
Ms. Stanley said Dennis Stanley “froze” when she opened the window and yelled out that she had seen him, then continued into his brother’s house.
David Stanley is the pastor of the nondenominational Church of the End Times he and his brother founded and Dennis Stanley is the second-in-command pastor.
