Former Riverside megachurch pastor accused of trafficking children in Bucharest

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.
