Globe offers update on religious cult sex charges

The new McDonald County felony sex charge against Granby-area minister George Otis Johnston, 63, and his hearing on felony sex charges in Newton County are featured in an article in this morning's Joplin Globe.
Though the Globe was nine days late in coming to the table, it has made up for lost time since then with Derek Spellman, who wrote today's article, and Jeff Lehr continuing to coverage the ritual sex with children story that has surrounded Johnston's Grandview Valley North Independent Church near Granby and the Grand Valley Independent Baptist Church in the Washburn area. Four members of the Grand Valley church, Rev. Raymond Lambert, 51, his wife, Patty Lambert, 49, and her brothers (and his stepbrothers) Paul Epling, 53, and Tom Epling, 51, face felony charges involving ritual sex with children.
