A pastor in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, Greatness Tapfunma, has been arrested for raping a 16-year-old girl after he purportedly assaulted her sexually, claiming he was casting out demons from her, reports Zimnews..
Tapfuma,
the General Overseer and Founder of Kingdom Rulers International
Church, has been charged for rape and sexual battery at the Western
Commonage Magistrate Court.
The prosecutor, Mufaro
Mageza, told the court that in October last year, Tapfuma proposed love
to the victim who was a member of his church, but was turned down.
During
the same month, Tapfuma invited the girl to his Cowdray Park house and
told her of a 'prophecy' claiming her family was being attacked by
demons and needed cleansing.
He allegedly told the victim that part of the cleansing would involve her sleeping with him.
The girl narrated how the man of God raped her in court:
"He
told me that if I did not sleep with him, my father was going to die
and I be turned into a Satanist. That day, he locked me in his house and
had sex with me three times, claiming he was casting out the evil
spirits from me."
Last year, it was reported
that the same pastor was acquitted of rape charges after two members of
his church accused him of sexually abusing them.
It was alleged that he raped the women aged 25 and 22 respectively, after inviting them to his house for prayers.
