New Jersey Pastor Charged With Sexually Assaulting Teen
A New Jersey pastor has been charged for allegedly sexually assaulting a teenager in the Trenton area. According to ABC 6 Action News, Charles B. Brinson, 64, was arrested on February 19 by the Trenton Police Department following an investigation conducted by TPD and the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office. Brinson is accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old after allegedly rendering the minor unconscious with a 'substance in an unmarked bottle on two occasions.' Investigations have yielded evidence that the two attacks happened at the pastor's home, a location just a block down the street from Brinson Memorial Church Incorporated, in January and February 2025. A woman named Brooke Baker spoke to the news outlet about the jarring accusations flung at Brinson. She insisted that she actually never saw the man do anything positive for the community and never bonded with any of the neighborhood's residents. 'I've never seen him come out and do anything for the community, to come out and introduce himself to the residents or anything,' Baker recalled. 'To know that we had somebody that close that's doing things and we didn't know? It's kinda freaky.' According to this isn't the first time that Charles B. Brinson has been hit with these accusations if this kind. The religious figure was arrested back in 2008 for felony contact with a minor, where he was charged for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old Philadelphia native. The embattled pastor ended up pleading guilty in that case to one count of corruption of a minor, resulting in four years probation. Charles B. Brinson is currently being held at a jail in Mercer County, with a detention hearing arriving in mid-March. Law enforcement in the Trenton area is pleading with the community to come forth with more accounts pertaining to the pastor's alleged machinations.

NJ pastor accused of drugging, sexually assaulting teen
A New Jersey pastor allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted a teenager in his home, authorities said. Charles B. Brinson was arrested at his Trenton home Feb. 19 after the victim accused him of drugging the teen's drink and accosting them once they passed out, authorities alleged. The 16-year-old made the accusations against Brinson, 64, more than a year ago, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office. The Bishop of the Brinson Memorial Church was charged with two counts of sexual assault of an incapacitated victim and two counts of endangering the welfare of the child. Brinson, who founded the church in 2014, allegedly abused the victim last year, in two separate incidents in his home, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office. The probe of the pastor is ongoing. He was released following his arrest. Brinson founded the church in 2014. On his Facebook page, Brinson claimed to be a volunteer Trenton Police chaplain. Brinson did not return calls seeking comment. In September 2008, Brinson was arrested for picking up a 15-year-old boy in Philadelphia, and bringing him back to his home in Florence, N.J., according to FOX 29. The charges were eventually dropped. In 2009, Brinson accepted a plea deal, and was sentenced to four years on probation. He was also required to register as a sex offender, FOX 29 reported.
