A Kilifi pastor has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexually abusing his 15-year-old cousin. The court found that the accused, a pastor at the church where the minor worshipped, used fasting, prayers, and claims of divine visions to gain access to her. The pastor invited the girl to fast and pray with him and his wife, claiming the spiritual cleansing would prevent her from marrying a non-Christian.
On the second occasion, he allegedly defiled her while she was asleep with his children. DNA evidence confirmed the pastor as the biological father of the complainant's newborn child.
