Nigerian Anglican Bishop Arrested In Prostitution Sting by Golders: 12:51pm On Jun 23, 2010
Benjamin Omosebi Charged With Solicitation

CINCINNATI -- A former bishop in the Anglican Church of Nigeria was arrested in a prostitution bust Tuesday in Over-the-Rhine.

Benjamin Omosebi, 60, is charged with solicitation. Police said Omosebi offered $15 to have sex with Mickey McConnal, who was also arrested in the sting.



The Communications Director for the Episcopal Diocese of Southwest Ohio, Richelle Thompson, said Omosebi is a visiting clergy with limited privileges in the church. She said he would only fill in for ministers when they were sick or on vacation, but could not say when the last time he officiated was. Thompson said Omosebi will not officiate in the church while his case goes through the legal system. "We take any allegation like this very seriously," she said. Thompson said the church was providing pastoral support to Omosebi's family, including his wife.
A representative of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, CANA, said Omosebi left the church in 1998 for unknown reasons. Omosebi was one of 14 people arrested in the prostitution sting. He was next scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 16.
