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.

The victim’s brother tole NBC New York he was present at the church when the assaults were taking place, but was unaware of what was going on.
“He would make me play on the drums, and when it was happening, I wouldn’t be nowhere around,” the girl’s brother said, adding, “I feel like, in the moment, I let my sister down.”
Maples said she previously went to court to have Gibson’s visitation rights taken away as the children expressed he was both physically and verbally abusive. The courts denied it.
The church is currently shut down while an investigation takes place. Gibson’s bail has been set at $10,000, according to Maples.
