BROWNSVILLE—The pastor of a Brooklyn baptist church was arrested and charged with criminal sexual abuse and forcible touching of a female victim between the ages of 9 and 14.

Matthew Gibson, 44, son of the bishop at the Progressive Baptist Church of Brownsville, is accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting his 14-year-old daughter over the course of six years. The terrifying abuse is alleged to have been taking place on the church’s grounds since 2012, shortly after the young victim’s mother died.

Although the alleged abuse has been going on for years, the victim only recently “blurted it out” to her sister-in-law, Myia Maples—who has custody of her and and her twin brother after their mother died seven years ago. Gibson was previously granted visitation rights every other weekend.

In a viral video, Maples tearfully detailed the rape claims and also accused the pastor’s father Bishop Ben Gibson of sexually assaulting other young women who were members of the church.
