TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A federal judge in Detroit has granted bond for one of the self-professed church leaders who was accused of using forced labor to solicit $50 million in donations for the Kingdom of God Global Church.

During Michelle Brannon’s arraignment in Detroit, she pleaded not guilty to the charges of forced labor, trafficking, and money laundering. The judge granted her bond of $10,000 with certain conditions.

Investigators said Brannon and David Taylor were running a human trafficking operation, which was disguised under the Kingdom of God Global Church.

“This church is not a church,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Cohen said. “It’s a labor skin and a money laundering scheme where people were victimized for decades.”

On Aug. 27, there was a multi-state FBI raid at the Avila mansion as well as in Michigan, North Carolina, Missouri, and Texas. Court records reveal that the two forced their unpaid workers to solicit those donations from call centers at those locations.

“Manipulated donors into donating over $50 million to David Taylor and Michelle Brandon to spend on what on themselves on King crab and cars and boats,” Cohen said.

If their victims did not meet quota, Cohen said Brannon would punish their workers.

“According to the evidence, she literally is a serial sadist who engaged in physical and psychological torture behind the lock doors of the call centers in Michigan, Missouri, Florida, and Texas,” Cohen said. “Brannon was the enforcer of every order, and every punishment forced unpaid labor, denial of sleep, denial of food, denial of medical care, physical, assaults and threats of violence for 11 years across four states around the country.”

Brannon’s criminal defense attorney John Rogers claimed she had a mild heart attack after her arrest in Tampa.

“They had to undergo a cardiac event where they put a stent in her heart,” Rogers said. “The recommendation given to the Marshal Services, based on my understanding from the detention facility and the medical officials, was that she seek the attention of a cardiologist upon her release. She has no prior arrest, no prior convictions.”

The federal judge granted Brannon to be released on a $10,000 unsecured bond with the following conditions: report to pre-trial services,  surrender her passport,  travel restrictions, no contact with any victims, witnesses, codefendants, and members of the church.

Brannon will stay at a home just outside of Detroit, but since that apartment is being leased by church members, she has 30 days to find another place.

8 On Your Side was told that Taylor, who was arrested in Durham, is in transit to Detroit. His arraignment hearing has not yet been set.
