JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Evangel Temple said it wants a full police investigation into claims a church member sexually assaulted children decades ago in St. Louis.

Roy Bay, 56, made the claims publicly Tuesday during a Jacksonville City Council meeting on the human rights ordinance, which he was speaking out against.

The expansion of the HRO would offer protections for the LGBT community in housing, employment and public accommodations.

“At the age of 10 to 12 years old, I was in restrooms, businesses, and I was sexually assaulted by the homosexual community,” Bay said to City Council.

Bay then spoke exclusively with Action News Jax about his claims. – See more at:
