Like many sex abusing, adulterating, pedophilic Evangelical preachers, church leaders, reverends, televangelists etc. who were caught with their pants down or with their hands down the pants of children, and, who make millions off the backs of their ignorant followers, there are politicians who are either themselves Evangelicals or are supported by Evangelicals (i.e. Zionist Christians).
Seditious US president Trump's deep friendship with notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein with whom he himself admitted sharing "wonderful secrets". Jair Bolsonaro, the seditious former president who, although no direct accusations of him being a pedophile or sex abuser, faced intense controversy in October 2022 for remarks implying underage Venezuelan girls (aged 14–15) he visited were sex workers, a behavior suggestive of pedophilia.
And now, the self-declared Son of God no less, one Apollo Quiboloy, an Evangelical preacher and church leader in the Philipplines, has been caught fornicating with children. His ties to the US include associating with Evangelical Americans (also known as Christian Zionists) and having a significant following among the American herd of moronic Trump-adulating Evangelicals.

This influential adviser to former populist and criminal Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte, is facing trial on charges including child sex trafficking and fraud.
Criminal suspects like Quiboloy in the Philippines must finish their trials and serve their sentences if convicted prior to any extradition.
Quiboloy, 76, leads the Kingdom of Jesus Christ church, which was founded in 1985 in southern Davao city and claims to have a wide following in the Philippines and abroad, including in the U.S.
In his heyday, Quiboloy was one of the most influential religious leaders in the Philippines and regarded as a political kingmaker. He served as spiritual adviser to the equally controversial Duterte, who took office in June 2016.
Duterte was arrested in Manila last year under a warrant from the International Criminal Court and has since been detained in the Netherlands, where he will face trial for alleged crimes against humanity. The charges stem from the killings of large numbers of mostly poor drug suspects under his anti-drugs crackdowns, which alarmed Western governments and rights groups.
Quiboloy claims to be "the appointed son of God" and has made outrageous claims that sparked questions about his character but endeared him to his followers. He once claimed to have stopped a major earthquake from hitting the southern Philippines.
In 2024, Quiboloy went into hiding after a Philippine court ordered his arrest along with several others for alleged child and sexual abuse and human trafficking, police said. The Philippine Senate separately ordered Quiboloy's arrest at the time for refusing to appear in public hearings about his alleged crimes.
Quiboloy and four others facing accusations surrendered in September 2024 after about 2,000 police raided a 30-hectare (75-acre) compound of his religious group, which included a cathedral, stadium, hangar and taxiway leading to Davao's international airport. He has been jailed since then.
U.S. federal prosecutors in 2021 separately announced an indictment of Quiboloy for allegedly having sex with women and underage girls who faced threats of abuse and "eternal damnation" unless they catered to the self-proclaimed "son of God."
Quiboloy was among nine people named in a superseding indictment returned by a U.S. federal grand jury and unsealed in November 2021. It contained a raft of charges including conspiracy, sex trafficking of children, sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion, marriage fraud, money laundering, cash smuggling and visa fraud, none of which took place in the US or against Americans.
