Former megachurch pastor Bruxy Cavey is facing two new sexual assault charges, adding to the long list of allegations against him.
Hamilton police Const. Krista-Lee Ernst did not say what prompted the new charges, but more will be revealed when he appears in court in a few weeks.
For a brief background, Bruxy Cavey is one of the country’s most recognizable religious leaders. Far from being orthodox, he is also a false teacher who denies penal substitutionary atonement, biblical inerrancy, the eternality of hell, has an unbiblical view of the sin of homosexuality, and displays an affinity for open-theism.

Cavey was released from his position at The Meeting House, a 5000-member multi-campus megachurch in Oakville, ON, one of Canada’s largest, after being arrested and charged with sexual assault. Further investigations would reveal that the church has an endemic problem, with a third-party investigation revealing that there have been nearly 40 different reports of sexual abuse against four pastors within the church.
Following his ousting from the church, Cavey created the website ‘The Ghost of 1820’, which is “not a place for judgment and divisiveness” but instead where he will “share some of my processing on the gospel principles of repentance.” Here, he is “trying to rebuild what I have broken and repent of what I have done wrong while also defending myself against accusations of things I have not done.”
Notably, in a December 9th post on ‘The Look of Lust,’ where he offers an extended meditation on the evils of lust and porn, he writes:
I confess that I have committed adultery. And according to Jesus, I am also a murderer (see our last study), and a hypocrite, and a host of other things. I am a more vile person than anyone knows, and yet I am a more glorious soul than anyone sees.
