A former youth minister charged with rape was extradited to Shelby County on Thursday.
Luke
Cooke was indicted on rape and aggravated sexual battery charges in
2007. Shelby County investigators said Cooke raped an 8-year-old and a
16-year-old.
Cooke then left the country. He was found in China,
but when U.S. Marshals prepared to deport him back to the United States,
he ran again.
In 2014, detectives learned that Cooke was in
Morocco. A few weeks later in April 2014, Interpol contacted the Shelby
County Sheriff's Office to say they found Cooke in an airport in
Albania with an expired passport.
Fmr. youth pastor extradited to TN after years of running from c - WMC Action News 5 - Memphis, Tennessee
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.
