Several of his supporters, many of them women who dressed up and wore hats, appeared ready on Friday to chip in for the bond. Brown is scheduled to return to court Monday with the paperwork. Brown faces a count of forcible rape and two counts each of sexual battery and committing a lewd act on a juvenile in three alleged crimes all dating back at least 30 years. Police originally booked Brown with aggravated rape on June 28, after an unidentified 39-year-old woman called the NOPD’s child abuse unit in March to report that Brown had molested her between the ages of 14 and 16. According to police, the woman said Brown had been her aunt’s boyfriend and committed the acts at his home. Since then, at least two other people have come forward with accusations against him, according to the indictment. One of them, now 47, claims Brown committed indecent behavior and sexual battery sometime between her 13th and 17th birthdays, according to the indictment.

While in a counseling session, Bollinger admitted that he sexually abused several Haitian children on multiple occasions, the prosecutors said. His confession prompted the counselor to call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to report the abuse. During the call to the national center, Bollinger informed the operator that he had sexually molested four girls, all between the ages of 11 and 16, the prosecutors said. The case was referred to the federal Homeland Security Investigation office in Charlotte. The girls identified by Bollinger as his sexual abuse victims were interviewed. During those interviews, the victims gave details about Bollinger’s sexual abuse that corroborated his confession, the prosecutors said.”

The Alabama Bureau of Investigation arrested Oliver Brazelle Monday. Brazelle is the former minister of music at First United Methodist Church in Sheffield.
The church conducted an internal investigation and reportedly discovered inappropriate behavior between Brazelle and three male victims. Church leaders turned their findings over to police. Brazelle was booked in the Lauderdale County Detention Center on charges of sodomy and sexual abuse. The church held a prayer service for healing a few days after Brazelle’s dismissal. Phones were not answered at the church when AL.com called for a comment the afternoon of Thursday, Jan. 9.
Sheffield Police Chief Greg Ray told Florence’s Times Daily that he hoped the fact that Brazelle has now been charged might embolden other victims to come forward. Ray said that his investigation in July 2012 was stymied after a month because the person who made the initial accusation to them would not agree to come forward.
“Officially, we never had a victim,” Ray told the Times Daily.
Brazelle is free on a $45,000 bond. Both of the charges against him are felonies. Second-degree sexual abuse, a Class C felony, is punishable by 1-10 years in prison. Second-degree sodomy, a Class B felony, carries a penalty of 2-20 years in prison
