When Brooklyn Apostles of Infinite Love member Mary Turcotte lied to cops about being raped and dragged through the snow by a 250-pound, 6'4" man, she decided to add the detail that her fake attacker was black. Which isn't sitting well with at least two of Brooklyn's black men. "I'm pissed off," said Brooklyn's Reggie Antoine. "It makes women paranoid of us." Issac Dennis said, "I don't know why they must accuse falsely like that. I think it must be prejudice." Tucotte didn't seem to give a race for the fake bodega worker with whom she claimed to be sleeping, but New York's bodega employees don't seem too upset about their new rep as nun-defiling Lotharios.
