The references of men in ministry are considered flawless or at least close to that- depending on your perception thereof. Pastor ,televangelist  and Founder of World Changes Church International - Creflo Augustus Dollar , denies attacking his  15-year old daughter.
  
Dollar  was arrested last Thursday, June 8th 2012, for allegedly choking his daughter. He is one of the most protruding  African –American preachers in the Atlanta vicinity and satellite ministry across the US. He was arrested after his 15-year old daughter called  911 at 1 am Friday and told the Sheriff’s deputy at Faytte County police station  that “my father and I had a disagreement, when he said I could not  go to a party”. In the police report it was noted that the girl said her father charged at her, putting his hands around her throat; punching her and also hitting her with a shoe. Dollar’s 19-year old daughter had also been interviewed on the incident and said “my father grabbed my sister’s shoulders  slapped her face and choked for about five seconds.” Adding that her sister had tried to break free- till her father had thrown her sister on the floor and ran to her mother Taffi Dollar- who says she did not see the fight.

 Dollar mentions that allegations made in the police report  is nothing but “exaggeration and sensationalism”- adding that he should never have been arrested. Dollar was charged with misdemeanour's counts of simple battery and cruelty to children. Dollar states in a Sunday morning service two days after his arrest “Truth is that a family conversation, with our youngest daughter, got emotional; emotions  got involved and things escalated from there.”
