Roy Bolden was a pastor of the Legions of Christ Ministries in Providence, Rhode Island. It’s a church that happily risks its nonprofit status with openly partisan, pro-Republican teaching. He was also the Chair of the Providence GOP. In 2017, he was charged with child molestation. The case is ongoing and the next pre-trial conference is in late October, 2022.
The accuser was 21 in 2017 when he went to the police. He said the abuse began when he was twelve and continued for six years.
