TULSA WORLD: Lawyers for ORU, Roberts fire back

SOME QUESTIONS...

Why are we hearing that the daughters of Richard and Lindsey Roberts have withdrawn from ORU as of this morning?

Where is the audit report that was completed last Thursday and submitted to the ORU Board of Regents a week ago today?

Why, after flippant denial and dismissal of accusations by Richard and Lindsey Roberts has 90-year-old Oral Roberts been called out of "retirement" to return to Tulsa as a resident and co-interim president in spite of his own categorical denial of the same accusations?

Why has no one followed up this report on obvious connections between Oral Roberts and JC Joyce (Tulsa resident, attorney and non-profit racket loophole expert)? (see articles below)

KJRH NEWS STORY - NEW ALLEGATIONS

LINDSEY ROBERTS ACCUSED OF INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP WITH UNDERAGE MALE. 

NEW ALLEGATIONS INCLUDE BOARD OF REGENTS: Benny Hinn, John Hagee, Creflo Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, Kenneth Copeland, Marilyn Hickey, Myles Munroe, Jerry Savelle, Peter Sumrall, Bill Scheer.

Lindsey Roberts

According to the previous and revised lawsuit, Lindsey Roberts is accused of:


- Moving in an underage male friend to the Roberts' compound.

- Photos exist of Mrs. Roberts and an underage male smoking at the President's residence.(draft report references front and rear photos of Richard Roberts residence with Mrs. Roberts and the underage male smoking)

- Mrs. Roberts has personally spent the night in the ORU guest house with an underage male on nine separate occasions(draft report references photos of these events as well as longs from security)

- Draft report references 29 distinct photos of Mrs. roberts and an underage male alone in her sports car. Time stamps on the photos indicate that they were photographed after the citywide 10pm curfew for minors not with their parents. In fact, all 29 photos were taken after midnight. The Draft report cites blog entries from current students confirming these meetings.

- Draft report cites statements by Victory Christian Students and past employees of VCS confirming Mrs. Roberts presence at the school in the presence of the underage male companion. Security tapes showed 81 visits to VCS by Mrs. Roberts and the underage male to the campus in 2004 alone.

- A longtime maintenance employee was summarily fired so this same underage male companion could have his position (Draft report cites a statement from current employee in confirmation of this assertion.)

- At an ORU sponsored event at ORU, security removed three individuals for being intoxicated. Photos of the three show that one of the individuals was Mrs. Roberts "boy friend." She ordered that security ignore the infraction. (Draft report indicates existence of photos of Mrs. Roberts ordering security to ignore the drunken youth.)
