Pastor Curtis Bankston Signs Plea Deal That Clears Him of False Imprisonment and Fraud Charges

The case received international coverage, with one video featuring local law enforcement discussing allegations against Pastor Bankston and his wife Sophia Bankston having gone viral.

"It's important to note that the Bankstons were operating a Christian-based ministry that housed individuals during the pandemic," said Dexter Wimbish. "We stated from day one that it was about not having a license. The Bankstons' reputation has been severely damaged, but they are moving forward with a civil suit to seek justice and restore their good name."
