TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A 17,000-member megachurch in south Tulsa has been rattled by allegations that five employees waited two weeks to report the rape of a 13-year-old girl in a campus stairwell, allegedly by a church worker.

Police say the girl is among at least three victims of alleged sex crimes by two former employees of Victory Christian Center who face criminal charges. Investigators say more could surface.

Authorities have also charged five ministry employees for waiting two weeks before reporting to police the alleged rape of the 13-year-old.
