Former Televangelist Charged With Raping Young Girl in Oklahoma
A well-known Pentecostal preacher and televangelist was arrested Wednesday and charged with child sex crimes in Oklahoma. Joe Campbell, 68, was arrested by US Marshals in Missouri and is being held in the Greene County Jail pending extradition to Oklahoma, where he faces one count of first...
Joe Campbell’s rape charge appears to be tied to the alleged abuse of one of those women, Kerri Jackson. Jackson, now 53, says he molested her for years in Tulsa in the early 1980s, beginning when she was around 9. The attorney general’s office presented the case to a multicounty grand jury in Oklahoma City last week and the panel returned the indictment — a milestone Jackson and some of the other women had pursued for most of their lives.
