A pastor from a church in Waco, Texas, that actively fought human trafficking has been arrested on a prostitution charge. Edward Ignacio Espinosa, 41, resigned from Antioch Community Church in December, following a confession that he had paid for sex at a massage parlor in October, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported, citing an arrest affidavit. A senior pastor said Espinosa was placed on administrative leave, “once he confessed his sin,” and the church conducted an internal investigation. “Ed’s conduct was not only inappropriate but directly against our values and policy as a church and as the people of God," the senior pastor said. The alleged business operator, Chun Yang Zhang, 47, was charged with human trafficking and accused of forcing women – who were all Asian and didn’t speak English – to engage in prostitution.
