Women Sue San Diego Church for Sex Abuse; Say Counselor Fondled Them in Counseling Program

Six women are suing San Diego's Rock Church Ministries, saying they were sexually harassed at a drug and alcohol recovery program associated with the megachurch, the Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (May 11, 2014).

The lawsuit -- filed on May 8 in San Diego Superior Court -- says the Rock offered counseling and housing to women in a program led by David Powers, who is accused of repeatedly fondling the women.

The lawsuit seeks damages for sexual battery and other claims.

The Rock says the accusations are troubling, but that none of the alleged behavior occurred on its property or by anyone under its authority. The church says it stopped referring women to Powers' ABC Sober Living after learning of the allegations last week.
