The Rev. Darrell Wayne Blair of New Breed Christian Center in Fort Worth, Texas is facing charges of sexual assault after a woman told police in late August that the pastor had sexually assaulted her several times as a teenager.
Blair, along with being the minister of the Fort Worth church, has close connections to famed Gospel singer Kirk Franklin and his gospel group, “Kirk Franklin and the Family,” according to his biography on New Breed Christian Center’s website.
The Rev. Blair turned himself in to Crowley authorities on Monday, Sept. 10 and was released on $25,000 bail after an unidentified female told police on Aug. 21 that Blair had allegedly sexually assaulted her from ages 14-18, ending in 2000.
