Prophet brian carn scandal 2016 season premiere

A Superior Court judge in Canada has ruled that Kofi Martin Danso, a self-styled prophet and leader of the multi-campus Miracle for All Nations church, cannot conceal his identity in a paternity lawsuit simply because he may suffer damage to his reputation and finances.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Fred Myers dismissed a request by Danso Tuesday to extend a publication ban and sealing order on a court file alleging he fathered a child with former congregant Chris-Ann Bartley, The Star said.

In addition to claims that he wanted the case private because "the matter concerns the paternity of a child which is disputed," Danso argued to the court that making the case public threatened his "significant commercial/financial interests." A ban on publication is typically used to protect the identities of children in family court matters.
