Five Tulsa church employees accused of waiting more than two weeks to report the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl at their church have been ordered back to court Oct. 31.
Prosecutors filed misdemeanor charges last week against Victory Christian Center employees John Daugherty, Charica Daugherty, Paul Willemstein, Anna George and Harold “Frank” Sullivan, saying they didn’t report allegations in a timely manner.
A judge entered not guilty pleas for the five Wednesday. The workers have been suspended by the church pending an investigation.
Prosecutors say the girl told employees Aug. 15 she had been raped but police weren’t told until Aug. 30.
