- Durham pastor David K. Dixon is currently being held at the Durham County Detention Center on four charges of statutory sex offense with a child and one charge of indecent liberties with a child.
The alleged offense happened on October 1 of this year and involved a 13-year-old child.
According to warrants obtained by ABC11, it is not specified if the victim is a boy or a girl. The warrants also do not indicate in detail what Dixon is specifically alleged of doing.
However, the statutory offense alleges Dixon "unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously engaged in a sexual act with...a person who at the time of the offense was 15 years of age or younger. At the time of the offense, (Dixon) was at least 12 years old and six years older than the victim and was not lawfully married to the victim."
The warrants also do not indicate any type of relationship between Dixon and the alleged victim.
Monday, Dixon appeared virtually in a Durham County courtroom.
According to Facebook, Dixon is a pastor at Kingdom City Life Empowerment Church in Durham and regularly hosts Facebook Live bible study sessions on his account.
Family members were present in the courtroom for Dixon's appearance from the jail.
"My son is a good role model for a lot of people," said Dixon's mother to Judge Amanda Maris. "He's grown up in the church all his life and helped so many people. He's a giver. He loves friends, family...and does everything he can."
"He preaches, he teaches, he sings. He's a person that everybody loves. I'm asking you to please reduce his bail," pleaded Dixon's mother.
Based on the information presented in court and lack of criminal history, the Judge Maris reduced the $10 million dollar bond to $1 million dollars.

There could be facts about him that have yet to be released, like having a second home in Costa Rica or something like that.
“According to warrants obtained by ABC11, it is not specified if the victim is a boy or a girl.”
Sounds like they don’t want to ‘stigmatize’ people who live a certain ‘lifestyle’.
1 million means he needs 100k to get out… don’t think that’s an impossible number. Probably a go fund me page out there already raising bail
Here's some background on Crystal Mangum you may have missed:
After graduation from high school in 1996, she joined the US Navy. She trained to operate radios and navigation technology. While serving in the navy, she married McNeill. Her marriage quickly broke down. She reported to police that her husband had threatened to kill her, but the charge was dismissed when she failed to appear in court.[1] She served for less than two years in the navy before being discharged after becoming pregnant by a fellow sailor, with whom she went on to have another child.[1]
By 2002 Mangum had returned to Durham and was working as an exotic dancer. In 2002, she was arrested on 10 charges after stealing the taxicab of a customer to whom she had given a lap dance. This prompted a police pursuit at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, occasionally in the wrong lane. After being stopped, she nearly ran over a police officer, succeeding only in hitting his patrol vehicle. She was found to have a blood alcohol content of just over twice the legal limit. Ultimately, she pleaded guilty on four counts: assault on a government official, larceny, speeding to elude arrest, and driving while impaired, serving three weekends in jail, paying $4,200 in restitution and fees, and being given two years' probation.[1]
In 2004 she gained an associate's degree in police psychology from Durham Technical Community College, and subsequently enrolled full-time at North Carolina Central University to study the subject.[1]
It all depends on how he votes and donates, whether Kamala Harris/Soros bail groups helps bail him out of jail.

Well that’s what I thought till you watch the video on the link. In the last 5 seconds one of his family says “he’s done this before”. So I wonder.
That woman’s life was a train wreck.
Unless he’s been charged before, I don’t think his previous acts would play into it.

That is nothing. The daughter of the great Christian football coach Bill McCartney (founder of Promise Keepers) was such a slut that she slept with most of his players, and had 2 kids with 2 different football players. Makes one wonder how such a godly man could have raised such a daughter with such loose morals.
Does not sound like the “Bishop” is beyond reproach.
And then there is his mother.
