Megachurch Pastor Exonerated After Prostitution Sting
Senior co-pastor at Rock Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia has been exonerated after new information has come to light after his arrest on Oct. 29, 2021. John Blanchard has continued to profess his innocence after 17 men, including him, were arrested in a police sting.
At the time, law enforcement believed the men were allegedly looking for sex through online and social media platforms. During the last 11 months, Blanchard stepped back from his pastoral duties handing over the oversight of the congregation to Bishop Anne Gimenez and his wife, Pastor Robin Blanchard.
Blanchard was arrested on charges of solicitation of prostitution from a minor age 16 or older and using a vehicle to promote unlawful sex. Now, the church is thankful that the truth has come to light and they have won the case.

Parental Warning: Lawsuit Accuses Amazon of Selling ‘Suicide Kits’ to Teens
Two families who lost their teenagers to suicide have filed a lawsuit against e-commerce giant Amazon, accusing the company of selling so-called “suicide kits” containing a food preservative that is fatal at high levels of purity.
The parents of 16-year-old Kristine Jónsson of Ohio and the parents of 17-year-old Ethan McCarthy of West Virginia said the company assisted in the teens’ deaths by selling them sodium nitrite, NPR reported.
If a person ingests enough of this substance, it can interfere with the body’s red blood cells’ ability to transport oxygen. This dangerous and potentially fatal condition is called methemoglobinemia, according to the Missouri Poison Center’s website. {eoa}
