NEW ORLEANS –
A local church leader recently appointed to an area economic development board is facing two lawsuits filed by a man who claims he was sexually abused by the preacher.

Bishop Kevin Boyd Sr. Leads the Church at New Orleans — formerly named the Apostolic Church at New Orleans. The church is located just off Chef Menteur Highway in the eastern part of the city.

And according to court documents obtained by the WDSU I-Team, that is where, nearly 12 years ago, the alleged abuse began.
