Brian Johnston is expected to step down as Pastor of Zion Baptist Church in Truro, Nova Scotia after officiating his final service this Sunday following a哈利法克斯审查员的报告关于对他牵涉到的哈利法克斯地区警察的未决诉讼。

Contacted by the Examiner, Johnston declined to comment on the allegations in the lawsuit.

该诉讼称，前达特茅斯警察局的一名警察在1990年代初期，约翰斯顿迫使一名13岁的女孩在警察局值班时对他进行口交。当时，这个女孩住在沙利文之家，这是一个为性剥削青年而言的小组之家。

In court documents, the girl is identified by the initials X.Y.

The lawsuit alleges that about a year after being sexually assaulted by Johnston, X.Y. was sexually assaulted by another police officer, Wade Marriott, of the RCMP. The Examiner has yet to uncover any present-day information on Marriott.

In or around 2005, X.Y., then an adult, was still in contact with the Juvenile Task Force. The suit alleges that when X.Y.’s main contact retired, Johnston, who was then both a detective with the Halifax Regional Police and pastor at Zion Baptist, became her main contact.

The suit alleges that as X.Y.’s and Johnston’s relationship “escalated,” Johnston “began coercing the Plaintiff to engage in further sexual activities with him, including sexual intercourse,” often while he was on duty.

X.Y. alleges that in 2006 she became pregnant and that Johnston is the biological father of her child.

根据诉讼中提交的文件：

CST。约翰斯顿对原告的怀孕不满意，并指示她要么堕胎或怀孕，并在出生后放弃婴儿收养。

The Plaintiff decided to keep the baby. Cst. Johnston instructed her not to identify him as the father on any documents and contacted government agencies to explain it was in the best interests of the mother and child that the father not be identified on any documentation.

As alleged, X.Y. “eventually reported Johnston to the head of the Juvenile Task Force and RCMP Inspector Brad Sullivan; Halifax Regional Police internal affairs; and retired Juvenile Task Force Member and RCMP Officer Doug MacKinnon.”

“The Plaintiff received no support from the aforementioned people,” according to the lawsuit.

While working as both as a detective for the Halifax Regional Police and as the pastor at Zion Baptist, Johnston also helped run a restorative justice program for men arrested for soliciting prostitution. He has since retired from the police.约翰斯顿（Johnston）还在1970年代在新斯科舍省的家中为有色儿童工作，然后成为一名警察。

锡安浸信会的多名成员告诉审查员，约翰斯顿星期三在报告后的第二天举行了紧急会议，锡安管理委员会执行委员会成员否认了指控。

Sources tell the Examiner Johnston plans to officiate his final service at Zion Baptist this Sunday via telephone conference call before stepping down as pastor.

据说教会的成员正在试图与非洲联合浸信会协会（AUBA）安排紧急会议，这是新斯科舍省最长的黑人组织，锡安浸信会是其成员教会之一。会议被要求讨论撤销约翰斯顿的特权。

An AUBA office assistant confirmed to the Examiner that a request for comment has been forwarded to AUBA Moderator David Provo.

约翰斯顿（Johnston）和万豪（Marriott）尚未受到刑事指控，对他们的指控尚未在法庭上进行测试。
