Two Romanian men have filed lawsuits in U.S. District Court in California accusing a former megachurch pastor of sexually abusing and trafficking children for years at a shelter he ran in Bucharest. The men say in their lawsuits filed Tuesday that Harvest Christian Fellowship pastor and missionary Paul Havsgaard severely abused them. The lawsuits also say church founder Greg Laurie and other senior leaders failed to prevent abuse. The Associated Press could not reach Havsgaard for comment. The church said the allegations are shocking but the lawsuit's target should be Havsgaard and not the church or its founding pastor.
