Hillsong church founder Pastor Brian Houston allegedly told a man who
had been repeatedly raped as a child by Houston’s father “you know this
is all your fault, you tempted my father,” Sydney’s Downing Centre local
court heard today.

Brian Houston’s father, Frank Houston, repeatedly raped and assaulted a
young church member, Brett Sengstock, beginning when the boy was seven
years old, in 1970.

More of the gory details here...

It's also worth recalling that Scott Morrison regarded Brian as a personal friend
and a "mentor", and often attended the Hillsong Church in Sydney with his wife.
