However, he was forced from his role at TBN, and also quit being on the board in October His daughter, Brittany Crouch Koper caused his departure after she brought a lawsuit against her grandparents.
Later, he joined a Christian network. The network headquarters are based in Southfield, Michigan but Paul established other facilities in the Los Angeles area. However, he was fired in because of a conflict of interests when he produced a spot for another Christian network on his own time using equipment he got through his video production company called PJ Video which is a full-service video production company.
During the formative years of TBN, Crouch worked behind the scenes alongside his parents and younger brother Matthew. In , he briefly entered the spotlight as an outspoken critic of backmasking.

Those were among the statements in court Monday at the start of a trial that promises to air the dirty laundry of the first family of Christian broadcasting. Carra Crouch, the year-old granddaughter of the late Jan and Paul Crouch, says she was sexually assaulted by a TBN employee at a Praise-A-Thon fundraiser when she was 13 years old, and that her grandmother knew of the attack.
Trinity attorney Michael King told the newly impaneled jury in Orange County Superior Court that Carra was a deeply troubled youth before that day in April that she claims changed her life. Both sides acknowledge that the year-old and a year-old man who worked for the Crouches smoked a cigarette together on her balcony, drank alcohol in her room and watched a movie on her bed, according to depositions in the civil trial.
Trinity maintains that young Carra Crouch fell asleep that night, ending the episode — and that the girl was foolish to let a year-old man in her room. But Carra Crouch argues that the man fondled her, tried to kiss her, and gave her a glass of water that she suspects was laced with a drug that made her pass out, according to her lawsuit against Trinity Christian Center of Santa Ana, the nonprofit that runs the Christian broadcasting empire TBN.
When she awoke, she suspected she had been raped. She yelled at her. Berated her.
