A North Carolina pastor has been charged with sexual battery after harassing a woman at a hotel yesterday.

It is extremely troublesome when a trusted member of the community is charged with any kind of sexual offense. We hope, although are doubtful, that this was an isolated incidence.

We urge anyone else, who may have been hurt by Pastor Robert Harris to speak up, report to police and start healing. We especially urge any current or former staff or members at his church to call police if they have any information or suspicions that might help them learn more of the truth about this case.
