	Seattle Woman Files Sex-Abuse Claim Against COGIC Associated Press, carried in WMC June 11, 2007 http://www.wmcstations.com/Global/story.asp?S=6641730 Seattle - The Memphis-based Church of God in Christ was sued today by a Seattle woman who claims she was sexually abused as a child by 1 of its pastors. Court documents filed in Seattle allege that the Church of God in Christ failed to protect the woman from Pastor Charles E. Smith. The lawsuit contends that the church failed to properly investigate Smith's background, knew or should have known he was a pedophile, and failed to adequately supervise him. The suit seeks unspecified damages. There's no reaction from the church.
