A new lawsuit obtained by News4Jax accuses Cameron Giovanelli -- an ex-Maryland pastor who once pleaded guilty to sex offenses -- of defamation. Giovanelli was once an associate pastor for Immanuel Baptist Church on Normandy Boulevard. Now, Jackson has now filed a federal lawsuit against Immanuel Baptist Church, Giovanelli, and his wife Sarah. The lawsuit alleges the false statements were made with malice and in an attempt to protect the financial interests of the defendants. News4Jax requested comment via Facebook from pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church.

Investigators told News4Jax that video released by the Clay County Sheriff's Office in 2011 shows Greg Neal, a pastor at Berean Baptist Church, handling the camera used to record the women. An investigation into the allegations found a crime occurred, but Neal, who was uncooperative, was never prosecuted. "The evidence of his crimes of voyeurism in 2001 is overwhelming," an assistant state attorney said in 2011. The senior pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Baltimore said he warned Neal not to hire Giovanelli. What bothers me is the pastor down there in Jacksonville at the Immanuel Baptist Church," Calvary Pastor Stacey Shiflett said.
