(Boston) “Minister” So-Called “Bishop” A. Livingston Foxworth Arrested In Prostitution Sting

BOSTON (CBS) — A prominent minister who blessed Gov. Charlie Baker in 2014 was arrested Tuesday in a Boston Police prostitution sting operation.

Archbishop Archie Livingston Foxworth, senior pastor at the Grace Church of All Nations in Dorchester, is among nine men facing a solicitation charge.

The sting operation involved undercover Boston Police detectives posing as prostitutes on Backpage.com.

The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said Foxworth and the other men negotiated payment for a sexual encounter online, then were arrested when they went to the place where they had agreed to meet the detectives.

Foxworth, 68, of Hull, had given Gov. Baker and his wife a blessing during a church service in the fall of 2014, shortly after he was elected.
