In Tulsa, Oklahoma, pastor Joe Campbell appeared in court on charges of sexually abusing multiple girls, including Lisa Ball and Kerri Jackson, in the 1980s. The women, now adults, attended the hearing as a statement of empowerment against their former abuser, who has been accused of similar misconduct by others. Campbell faces serious charges, including first-degree rape, and has not yet entered a plea. His case follows an NBC News investigation into decades of abuse allegations against him within the Assemblies of God denomination.
