Harvest Christian Fellowship seeks to dismiss sex abuse lawsuits ex-pastor calls ‘ugly lies’

Attorneys for Harvest Christian Fellowship and its founder, Greg Laurie, are seeking to dismiss 22 federal lawsuits filed by former wards of the California megachurch’s now-defunct children’s homes in Romania. The claimants allege they were sexually abused and trafficked by former pastor Paul Havsgaard, who has dismissed the allegations as “ugly lies.”
