Pennsylvania Baptist church implicated in Australian sexual assault case documented on '60 Minutes' | PennLive.com

A Valley Forge church has been implicated in a case of sexual assault in Australia documented on the country's version of "60 Minutes."

The episode, which aired earlier this week, featured Joy Harris, whose former husband Larry Harris is serving a five-year prison sentence in Queensland, Australia for two counts of rape against her, according to the show.

Joy Harris moved with her then-husband, Pastor Larry Harris, from the United States to Australia in 1994, to serve as missionaries for the Valley Forge Baptist Church, located in southeastern Pennsylvania. According to the show, the church was referred to as a "cult" by former members and is a part of the breakaway Independent Baptist Movement.
