Apollo Quiboloy
Apollo Carreon Quiboloy is a Filipino pastor and the leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), a Restorationist church based in the Philippines.
He is also a televangelist with followers who have called him the "Appointed Son of God." The United States authorities, represented by the FBI and the U.S.
Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, have charged him with serious crimes.
The U.S. authorities accuse Quiboloy of conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion, as well as sex trafficking of children.
These charges stem from allegations that he and his co-defendants trafficked women and girls for sexual purposes.
The case has led to a request for his extradition from the Philippines, where he was arrested in 2024.
The conflict centers on the legitimacy of the charges and the extradition process.
Quiboloy's supporters and some observers question the evidence and the motivations behind the U.S. prosecution, while U.S. authorities maintain that the charges are based on a thorough investigation.
The case has sparked debate in both countries about legal procedures and the treatment of religious leaders.
