'Victims' in Kingdom of God case defect as David Taylor trial looms

Two women whose sexually explicit messages with Kingdom of God Global Church “apostle” David Taylor dominate the forced labor indictment against the religious figure insist they were not victimized or forced to perform sex acts and provide custom-ordered nudes , raising questions about their value to the government as witnesses at trial. The women, who prosecutors said were 18 and 19 during the alleged labor conspiracy, describe their relationships with Taylor as consensual, a point defense lawyers seized upon in trying unsuccessfully to remove allegations involving the women from the indictment. Details involving the women, who are identified by the code names"F-1" and "F-2," and allegations Taylor directed female church workers to perform sex acts and share nudes, were unfairly prejudicial, defense lawyers argued. Court filings reveal a rift between prosecutors and women who might have been expected to testify as the government's star witnesses at trial in April as two of the dozens of women prosecutors said were forced to perform sex acts for Taylor and provide explicit pictures and videos. Instead, the women could end up testifying for the defense after what they categorized as a betrayal by prosecutors effectively outing them and disclosing the sexual messages. “Must

See how this 1917 home blends history with modern style

Kevin and Alexandra Schwartz can trace their 1917 Grosse Pointe Park Colonial to Edmund Poupard, a member of the prominent family that owned one of the 19th-century ribbon farms lining the shores of Lake St. Clair. Their house replaced the farmhouse that once sat on the lot. Vintage blueprints of the approximately 4,000 square-foot structure hang in the back hall near the kitchen and a book detailing the street’s storied past has a place of honor in the front hall. Kevin is from Flushing and knew little about the area when he began dating Alex, who is from Grosse Pointe. “I had no clue,” he said with a laugh. Alex never expected to return. “I went to college thinking I didn’t want to come back, but Grosse Pointe is a great place to have a family and raise kids.” The couple appreciates the history of both the area and the house, but shared a common goal when they purchased the residence in 2024 for their family, which includes two boys, ages 1 and 3, and a 7-year-old Irish Doodle named Guinness. “We wanted to preserve the history and incorporate pieces of Detroit’s past, but didn’t want to walk into something

Dan Gilbert's PAC cash gifts to Detroit council emerge as RenCen vote looms

DETROIT — As the Detroit City Council begins to take up a massive $2.2 billion plan to overhaul the General Motors Renaissance Center, five of the nine council members who are considering approving key parts of the complex deal have accepted campaign donations from the political action committee formed by billionaire Dan Gilbert's company or the CEO of Gilbert's Bedrock real estate development firm. The donations from the Rock Holdings State Inc. PAC — a state-level political action committee associated with Rock Holdings, the parent company of Rocket Mortgage and related entities founded by Gilbert — and Bedrock CEO Jared Fleisher for 2024 to today amount to a total of $27,950, according to public campaign finance records. These contributions represent steady support for council members, past and present, as well as council candidates, from the influential development group that controls major portions of downtown Detroit. Another $28,500 was given to three other candidates who lost their bids to get on the council during the 2025 election, records show. The Detroit News reviewed campaign finance records dating back to 2021. The council members who received cash from the Rock Holdings State Inc. PAC were Councilman Coleman A. Young II, who got

High school football: Breaking down the top games in Round 3

Detroit Edison coach Chan Brock wasn’t going to get caught looking ahead. With Edison (10-1) facing Clinton in the Division 6 district final last Saturday, he could have spent the night before scouting Ecorse (10-1) for a potential regional final matchup between the Charter School Conference rivals on Saturday, Nov. 14. Instead, he used that time to get an extra night of preparation for Clinton. It paid off when Edison pulled off a 26-24 comeback victory to win its third district title in four seasons. But the second Brock handed the championship trophy to his captains, his attention shifted to Ecorse, which Edison narrowly defeated 30-20 in a de facto CSC Gold Division title game in Week 8. More: How a boxing gym helped Detroit Edison football handle adversity “Ecorse now has our full attention,” Brock said. “Obviously, we played them before, but we know it’s not going to be the same team. We know they’re going to play us harder, so we’ve got to play harder, too.” That’s a scary thought considering how well Edison played against Clinton, which was a 15-point favorite according to the analytics released by high school football website Goosepoop.
