A 34-year old head pastor of the Agona Swedru branch of Saviour Church of Ghana, has been arrested by the police for allegedly raping a 22-year old young lady.
This was made known by the AssistantCommissioner of Police (ACP) Nana Asomah Hinneh, Agona Swedru Divisional Police Commander, adding that the Pastor, Joseph Bondzie admitted having sexual intercourse with the girl without her consent during police interrogations and a medical report from doctors of the Agona SwedruGovernment Hospital proved that the lady had been raped.
According to the ACP, the victim, a member of the church was sick and went to the pastor for healing prayers and in the course of the prayers, the pastor touched the mouth of the lady and all of a sudden she fell floppy.
ACP Hinneh said the victim woke up in about 15 minutes and saw that her pant was loose and her private part soaked with semen, an indication that the pastor had had sexual intercourse with her.
He said the young lady returned home and complained to her auntie and when Pastor Bondzie was confronted by the auntie, he admitted the offence.
ACP Hinneh said the pastor sent some elders to plead for forgiveness on his behalf but the auntie reported the matter to the Agona Swedru branch of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit of the police.
