The church is represented by attorney Mike Chappers and Calderon by attorney Lenden Franklin Webb. The defamation lawsuit is also against twenty unnamed individuals and seeks payment of a half million dollars. Rodriguez married Kristen, the sister of Stephen Barker, in 2008. This concerns a lawsuit filed on Decemby UPCI pastor Stephen Barker against Emily Calderon, a former church member, who has since sometime in 2020 been very outspoken about multiple cases of alleged sexual abuse involving Raul Rodriguez, a long-time member of Mount Zion Apostolic Church in Visalia (Goshen), California. The 42nd installment in this series about sexual abuse in the United Pentecostal Church will be different from most of my entries, as at this time I wish to focus mainly on one aspect of the case.
