Archbishop Earl Paulk, co-founder of Cathedral of the Holy Spirit at Chapel Hill Harvester Church, is once again being accused of sexual abuse. This is just one more in a list of sexual misconduct incidents Paulk has been accused of.

• First there was Jessica Battle. In 2001, the college student sued Paulk, accusing him of molesting her between the ages of 7 and 11, and later of forcing himself on her when she was 17. This was settled out of court in 2004 for 400,000 dollars.
• Then in 2003, Cindy Hall came forward and claimed that Paulk had convinced her into a lengthy affair when she was 23 that also included her having sex with Paulk’s brother, Don. She accused Paulk of using his position to influence her. She admitted to lying under oath in the Battle case and chose not to become involved with the Brewer case.
• He was then sued by Mona Brewer on August 31, 2005, claiming Paulk misused his position to manipulate her into a sexual relationship that started in 1989 (she would have been around 20 or 21), and claiming Paulk owed her $400,000 for a loan Brewer issued to settle the Jessica Battle suit. Paulk denies the sexual relationship, but his attorney did not stating that it was brief and that Brewer was the initiator.
• Now an adult grandaughter, Penielle “Penie” White, has stated that Paulk touched her inappropriately when she was about eight years old. She said made the allegations in a sworn deposition in relation to the Brewer case. She also stated that she was present when her grandfather fondled Jessica Battle.
