Trinity Broadcast Network Hit With Two Lawsuits -- By Vikki Vargas, James Hourani


The founders of the Trinity Broadcasting Network claim the Costa Mesa based network is the largest Christian broadcasting network in the world.

But Paul and Jan Crouch are facing accusations of financial misconduct from members of their own family.

In one lawsuit, Joseph McVeigh said his niece Brittany Koper, the Crouches' granddaughter, was promoted to head TBN’s finances. A move, the lawsuit claims, that was intended to keep the company’s financial skeletons in the closet.

McVeigh’s lawsuit claims that TBN spent $50 million on a private jet for the Crouches. It names numerous homes owned around the world and claims that TBN bought a $100,000 motorhome to be used by Jan Crouch’s dogs.

Brittany Koper filed another lawsuit that accuses TBN attorneys of sexual misconduct. The suit accuses one attorney of "grabbing her breasts" and "slapping her buttocks."

Fingers have been pointed at all parties as the two lawsuits begin to emerge.

An attorney for TBN calls the lawsuits a "diversion."

He told NBC4 that Koper embezzled "a large amount of money" when she worked for her grandparents, and that she gave McVeigh, her uncle, a loan that no one knew about.

In his words, the lawsuits are “contrived, baseless, sad and tragic.”
