Pastor appears in court for rape, Volksrust

A 66 year old pastor is expected to appear at the Volksrust Magistrate’s court on 2 July 2018, facing a rape charge. His appearance stems from an alleged rape incident of a 45 year old woman that took place sometime in April this year.

According to information at police disposal, the victim arrived at Volksrust at the time and had no place to stay, she then reportedly approached the pastor for a place to stay. He accommodated her in one of the rooms in his place and after three days reportedly called her to his bedroom where he allegedly raped her.

The victim only reported the matter now reportedly due to interventions by fellow church members. The suspect was arrested on 29 June 2018, hence his expected appearance in court.
