The Blaxtion

Two Philadelphia pastors from separate churches are facing charges of child sexual abuse and sharing explicit material of minors after investigators say they were exchanging illicit content through text messages dating back to 2024.

Isaiah Banks, 30, is accused of enticing a 15-year-old boy to send explicit images and videos in exchange for money and food while serving as pastor at Second Pilgrim Baptist Church. Prosecutors say
Banks then shared the material with Bryan Jackson, 42, who leads Garden of Prayer World Prayer Center. Jackson allegedly communicated directly with the children to obtain more material.

Banks resigned from his church in April before his June 3 arrest. Jackson was arrested June 19 and was still featured on signage outside his church. Banks' bail was set at $600,000 and Jackson's at $100,000. Both posted bail and are awaiting preliminary hearings.

Prosecutors are asking any potential victims to come forward.

Parez and Jakkhi Reese set up their lemonade stand in Kansas City selling lemonade, Kool-Aid, and snacks when someone called 911 to report them. When officers showed up they didn't shut it down. They bought it out.

Officer Morgan Reed called every officer he could reach and told them to swing by the stand. The Kansas City Police Department even advertised the boys' business on social media urging the community to support them. Instead of being shut down the brothers made nearly $300 in one afternoon. Reed came back the next day and spent another $40.

The anonymous caller's plan backfired completely. The boys plan to keep the stand running all summer and the community is fully behind them.

As for what they plan to do with the money Parez wants to help the homeless and buy an e-bike. Jakkhi plans to buy diapers for his niece and nephew.
