Freak of the week

Cross and dove

Pastor David Bishop, if found guilty of the many charges against him, he will go down as among the worst of the worst when it comes to clergy sexual abuse and hypocrisy.

The former senior pastor of the First United Pentecostal Church in Redding pleaded not guilty today to nearly 50 counts of child molestation.

David Leon Bishop, 65, who is free on $100,000 bond, is charged with 47 felony counts of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under the age of 14. He also faces 47-related enhancements and is tentatively due to have his preliminary hearing on Dec. 18.
