The South African-based Acts Christian Church is closing its only Australian branch after revelations the leader was involved in a paedophile ring.
Pastor David Volmer is one of eight West Australian men accused of sexual crimes against a 13-year-old girl over a period of two years.
The 41-year-old has pleaded guilty to 12 offences including drugging and raping the girl.
Originally from South Africa, Volmer moved to Australia and set up a branch of the Acts Christian Church in Perth's northern suburbs in 2013

I posted this in a thread about White Ribbon Night but I make no apology for repeating it. This is the ugly side of a truth that no one wants to look at or be associated with. Its a thread I'm sure, like white ribbon night, will attract few comments because its an ugly topic.
But I tell you now - violence against women, depraved pornography, rape and paedophilia permeates every level of society including Christian societies - no society (including chats) is exempted.
To the girls/women who know all about this - Tonight on white ribbon night I want to send you everything good I can imagine - hugs
