Bishop James Stockton Recorded In Alleged Child-Predator Sting, Arrested [Video]

\[]Big_bad_wolf1983, a creator known online for confronting suspected predators, has posted a video that now has many viewers stunned. The clip shows Bishop James Stockton, identified as a leader at the Church of God, sitting inside a car during an exchange that appears to be part of an undercover sting. Moments later, police arrive and place him in handcuffs.

Stockton’s name also appears in online custody records, which list him as a 54-year-old Black male being held at Men’s Central Jail. According to that listing, he was booked on November 30 and is currently facing a felony charge, though the specific charge has not been disclosed. He is scheduled to appear in court tomorrow, December 2.

The video begins with the content creator asking Stockton why he arrived to meet a 16-year-old boy. Stockton insists he believed he was speaking with someone older. The creator challenges that explanation, pointing out messages that suggested otherwise. The conversation grows more uncomfortable as the creator references a Thanksgiving message sent by Stockton that carried sexual undertones. Stockton again claims he thought the teen was older and that apps often involve users misrepresenting their age.

As the dialogue continues, officers approach the vehicle. The video ends with Stockton being placed under arrest.

Stockton is identified in the post as a bishop with the Church of God. Social-media users are now asking how long he has served in leadership, how much access he had to youth programs, and whether his congregation is aware of the arrest. At this time, the church has not released a public statement addressing the situation.

With a court appearance less than 24 hours away, more information about the felony charge may become available soon. Until then, the public record simply confirms that Stockton is in custody at Men’s Central Jail.
