RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) –
The Roc’s top pastor will fight charges of threatening phone calls Monday morning.
Jason Helmlinger stepped down last week, and is the second Roc leader to face criminal charges. His friend and fellow pastor, Geronimo Aguilar, faces sexual abuse charges in Texas.
There has been a lot of confusing controversy at the Roc, but things could start to get back to normal if Executive Pastor Jason Helmlinger beats this charge of making threatening phone calls.
When a former church member last week said Aguilar, who founded the Roc, had inappropriate relations with church wives, police say Helmlinger called the former church member and threatened to harm him. That’s what the case is all about Monday morning.
