So This Happened (EP 439): Pastor’s polygamous marriage sparks controversy amid abuse allegations - Punch Newspapers

An Ohio pastor, Israel Ford, has defended his polygamous marriage after his wife introduced another woman as his second wife during a church service. The controversy has drawn further attention because of a past domestic-violence conviction involving his stepdaughter and separate sexual-abuse allegations made by another daughter, which he and his wife deny.

Meanwhile, a dispute involving three-year-old footballer Nevada Pierre at a Florida children’s match has sparked debate after police were called. Although no arrests were made, the incident has reportedly opened up new football development opportunities for the young player.
