Police brought Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and 5 co-accused to a Pasig City court Friday morning for his schedules arraignment on a human trafficking complaint. 

Video taken by ABS-CBN News showed several police officers entering the Philippine National Police Custodial Center in Camp Crame past 6 a.m.

Quiboloy and his co-accused later pleaded not guilty before the Pasig Regional Trial Court branch 159 at 8 a.m.

Underage members as young as 12 years old have accused Quiboloy of molestation, saying the pastor wanted to check “if their virginity was still intact.”

They said Quiboloy claimed that having sex with him would be their “passes to heaven”, PNP spokesperson PCol. Jean Fajardo said in a press briefing.

Failure to comply with his requests or breaking the group’s code of silence would mean divine retribution from so-called “angels of death”, the spokesperson said.

Quiboloy and his co-accused surrendered to authorities last Sunday, more than 2 weeks after police raided the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound in Buhangin, Davao City to serve his arrest warrant.

KOJC chief legal counsel Israelito Torreon earlier said Quiboloy’s surrender was the leader’s “ultimate sacrifice” because he did not want the “lawless violence” to continue inside the KOJC compound.
