Wala pa umanong natatanggap ang Pilipinas na kahilingan ng gobyerno ng United States (US) upang i-extradite ang spiritual adviser ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na si Apollo Quiboloy kaugnay ng kasong sex trafficking na isinampa sa kanya ng Justice department ng Amerika.
“As of this date, the DOJ has not received any request for extradition from the US DOJ (US Department of Justice) nor from the US State Department thru the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs),” ayon kay Department of Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra nitong Biyernes.
Paglilinaw ni Guevarra, walang kinakaharap na sex trafficking case si Quiboloy sa Pilipinas, katulad ng kinakaharap nito sa Amerika. Si Quiboloy ay founder ngKingdom of Jesus Christ, The Name Above Every Name (KOJC) na naka-base sa Los Angeles.
“A complaint for rape, however, was filed against him last year in Davao City, but the same was dismissed. That dismissal is now on appeal with the DOJ,” sabi ng opisyal.

Bukod kay Quiboloy, kinasuhan din ang dalawang kasamahan na sinaTeresita Tolibas Dandan at Felina Salinas ngsex trafficking conspiracy matapos maganap ang insidente mula 2002 hanggang 2018.
“These three defendants allegedly recruited females ranging from approximately 12 to 25 years of age to work as personal assistants, or ‘pastorals,’ for Quiboloy. The indictment states that the victims prepared Quiboloy’s meals, cleaned his residences, gave him massages and were required to have sex with Quiboloy in what the pastorals called ‘night duty.’ The indictment specifically mentions five female victims, three of whom were minors when the alleged sex trafficking began,” ayon pa U.S.-DOJ.
