The pastor accused of “spurious ” claims against Police Commissioner Paul Rolle was arraigned in the Magistrate’s Court today, charged with intentional libel.
Dressed in a coat suit, Pastor Julien Johnson was escorted to court by two police officers, without handcuffs.
The arraignment was scheduled for 2 pm.
Why it matters
Nearly two weeks ago, Johnson in a social media post, accused the police commissioner of sexual assault against female members of the police force. Johnson stated that it was revealed to him in ‘the spirit.’
Rolle responded in a statement that he “takes the attacks on his reputation seriously” and had since reported the matter to the Central Investigation Department.
Johnson who is known for making spurious claims on social media, as the word from the Lord admitted that he often speaks out of turn.
After the investigation was launched, Johnson admitted, “I don’t always get it right. I don’t always say what’s right. My mouth gets the best of me. Everybody has a weakness. And my mouth is mine.”
