Philippine celebrity pastor Apollo Quiboloy, who calls himself the "Appointed Son of God", pleaded not guilty on Friday to several criminal charges including sexually abusing a child during arraignments in two separate courts, his lawyer said. Quiboloy, leader of the Philippine-based Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) church which says it has six million followers worldwide, arrived at the heavily guarded Pasig court in a bulletproof helmet and vest. "He is innocent," his lawyer, Israelito Torreon, told reporters after his client's first arraignment.
