Eleventh hour twist in Hillsong lawsuit after parishioner Anna Crenshaw ... trends now
A settlement between Hillsong Church and a female parishioner in a lawsuit over her indecent assault at the hands of a church employee has been scrapped at the last minute.
The civil case relates to the indecent assault of Anna Crenshaw by church staffer Jason Mays when she was 18 years old.
In a statement of claim, Ms Crenshaw said she was 'sexually assaulted by (Mays) whilst (Mays) was an employee of (Hillsong) and in his capacity as a worship leader'.
She alleged she had suffered harm, injury, and loss as a result of the church's negligence and breach of contract.
In the Penrith Local Court in January 2020, Mays pleaded guilty to one count of indecent assault.
He was sentenced to a two-year conditional release order and no conviction was recorded.
