Kalamazoo pastor accused of paying teens for sex acts

A well-known West Michigan pastor and his wife are facing accusations involving sex, money and teenagers.

Reverend Strick Strickland, 36, is pastor at Kalamazoo’s Second Baptist Church on North Rose Street. His wife Jazmonique Strickland, 25, was a paraprofessional at Phoenix High School in Kalamazoo until she resigned last fall, one day before police executed a search warrant at the family’s home.

After a four-month investigation by Michigan State Police, several sources confirmed to Target 8 that detectives found Strickland had paid teenagers to engage in sexual acts at his family’s home on Prairie Avenue in Kalamazoo.

That property is owned by Second Baptist Church, where Strickland has been pastor since 2012.
