> Faith healer abused teen
KINGSTON (Jamaica) – A NEW York-based Pentecostal faith healer was released on bail in his native Jamaica on Monday 29 Jun 2009, nearly two weeks after being charged with sexually abusing a teenage girl.
Paul Lewis, who was charged with carnal abuse and indecent assault for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old girl, was released on US$5,600 (S$8,114) bail and ordered to surrender his travel documents until a July 7 court date, his lawyer Michael Erskine told reporters.
Mr Erskine declined further comment, but he previously said his client denied the charges.
Lewis was born in Jamaica but moved to the United States as a child. His Web site identifies him as pastor for The Messengers for Christ World Healing Centre in Brooklyn. The church has not responded to requests for comment.
The Web site says he has preached in the Bahamas, Canada, Jamaica, Europe and Africa. In infomercials and on his Web site, Lewis has pitched a ‘miracle olive oil soap’ that he claims can cure diseases like AIDS and cancer and bring prosperity. — AP
