Attorneys concluded their arguments Tuesday in the case of a Costa
Mesa Sunday school volunteer accused of sexually abusing a half-dozen
boys and trying to lure another.
Jurors will decide whether they believe testimony from witnesses who
over the past few weeks accused 51-year-old Christopher McKenzie of
fondling or raping the boys.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Heather Brown told jurors that McKenzie is a wolf
in sheep's clothing, a man who hid behind a guise of religious piety
that he cultivated at Rock Harbor church in Costa Mesa.
McKenzie met three of the
boys at the church, where he helped in a fifth-grade classroom,
according to the Orange County district attorney's office.
Sex-abuse prosecutor: Church volunteer 'handpicked these boys.' Defense: 'There's reasonable doubt' - Daily Pilot
Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
