An ancient priest accused of leading an evangelical cult in the Church of England defended the jury to establish a “sensual” contact: “I was the most radical assigned conscarist”.
In the 80s and 90s, Christopher Brain, who directed the Rave-style Rave-style Nine O-Clocking service in Sheffield, was allegedly surrounded by women wearing underwear or releasing clothes as part of the “Homebase team” holding his house “Spotingly Clean”.
The jury members at the Inner London Crown Court had previously heard that women, called “Lycra Lovelies” or “Lycra nuns ,, were on a route to help protect the house of the referee’s brain.
Between 1981 and 1995, the 68 -year -old rejected a rape of 13 women in the church movement and the immoral attack numbered 36. He acknowledges that he has sexually activated with some complainants, but insists that he is based on consent.
He gave evidence for a second day and defended contacts with the members of the congregation when he married a small child.
He and his ex -wife “I was not a traditional victory, he was one of his radical research and experimental journey.
After hundreds of young congregations to the Church of England, the former clergy, who was quickly watched for duty in 1991, said that he had previously received “lusty” massages from women to alleviate tension headaches.
He claims that he resigned from NOS in 1993 to continue his work in San Francisco two years before the collapse of the Sheffield Church in 1995.
On Tuesday, he challenged his contact with the congregations: orum I don’t know in a traditional environment. But if you’re in a polyamor community on the front of the culture in San Francisco and in the center of the praise movement, I thought it was good. ”
The jury and a complainant who claimed to rape his home in Sheffield in 1983 or 1984, said he regularly dealing with “sex”. He said that his wife was “quite open ,, but if the contacts progressed to full gender, they would be cheating.
He admitted that he had sex with the woman, but he said that it was “absolutely” consent.
“We were in the bedroom and went too far,” he said. “We started sex and stopped after a short time.”
He said that another woman accusing her of multiple sexual assaults that she was “completely happy with her.”
“This was a club environment,” he added. “It wasn’t like a church house, it was like a group of musicians living together.”
He insisted that sexual aggression was “not my style ve and objected to his depiction as a kind of“ Lairy ”man. He claimed that the contacts came after trusting for a long time.
“I’m not a man to try this, I’ve never been. Not a part of my character or belief system.”
He said that he simulates the rape scene with a woman and that a woman had rejected a series of other accusations, including the claim that she put his hand on her genitals.
His lawyer Iain Simkins KC was questioned for admitting that he had admitted that he had confessed to inappropriate sexual behavior with a series of women in a BBC BBC documentary NOS, NOS, NOS in 1995.
“I think it shows that I am almost accepted,” he said. “To a large extent I have accepted the responsibility of most of this. He is almost accused of everything that goes wrong.”
He insisted that NOS was never a cult and rejected that she had never made a “sexual healing practice with her followers:“ There was no sexual improvement all over this case. ”
He described the criminal charges as a “witch hunt ve and said that NOS’s breakdown in the 90s“ fundamentally destroyed my life ”.
