The Brew has determined that God’s Love Outreach Ministries, also known as G.L.O.M. Global, is the unnamed California company that hired Marilyn Mosby as she serves out the remaining nine months of her one-year sentence of home detention.
The same California ministry is trying to establish mental health, substance abuse and other residential facilities in Maryland, an effort that would be overseen by Mosby, the former state’s attorney of Baltimore who was convicted of perjury and mortgage fraud.
Allen S. Turner, G.L.O.M. Global’s founder and president, met with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore at an event organized to “showcase our commitment to strong leadership and collaboration,” according to a September 24 Facebook post.
Under the heading “GLOM is in Baltimore,” the post says that Turner and several other officials “had the privilege of attending a private ball” with Moore.
The governor is also featured prominently on the ministry’s homepage, misidentified as “head leader of Baltimore.”
Asked to comment today, Moore’s spokesman Carter Elliott IV confirmed the meeting, describing it as “a private event, not an official event sponsored by the Office of the Governor. We typically don’t disclose information about them.”
Asked if Moore was aware of or involved in the company’s expansion plans, Elliott did not respond. He also did not comment when told that Mosby was now the company’s Maryland representative.
Asking for Daytime Release
Mosby stirred controversy earlier this week after she asked a federal judge to alter the terms of her home detention so she could leave home anytime between between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m., including weekends, and be subject only to a night curfew.
Such time away from home detention was needed to allow her “to travel to various locations within the District of Maryland on a routine basis” to fulfill her responsibilities as Director of Global Strategic Planning for her unnamed employer.
The request was turned down yesterday by U.S. District Court Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby, subject to the probation office learning more about “the nature of [Mosby’s] work, specific responsibilities and goals.”
Reached by phone today in Livermore, CA., Turner would neither confirm nor deny that he hired Mosby as his Maryland representative.
“Unfortunately, I cannot speak to that. I’m sure if you communicate with Mrs. Mosby that she can shed light on any questions you have,” he said.
He hung up before he could be asked about the private audience he had with Gov. Moore.
Mosby’s personal phone line was blocked today, and she did not return an email message sent to her consulting company, Mahogany Elite.
Rapid Growth
A Baptist minister, Turner established God’s Love Outreach Ministries as a nonprofit charitable organization in 2005, with the mission of connecting formerly incarcerated and often unhoused individuals with their communities in the San Francisco Bay Area.
According to Turner, the organization provides case management, mobile mental health services, psychiatric care and adult transitional housing.
According to its latest 990 federal tax disclosure form, the nonprofit has expanded its revenue stream by nearly 30 times in recent years, with revenues growing from $499,000 in 2018 to $14.5 million in 2021.
Nearly all of the revenues come from contracts with five counties – Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, San Mateo and Santa Clara – in California.
Turner reported a salary of $325,000 in 2021.
