Sexual Predator Pentecost Pastor arrested for raping a girl

Kollam:A Pentecostal Pastor Samuel, serving Chakkuvally, Suranad Pentecostal Church was arrested by Suranad Police Inspector Omanakuttan for raping a fifth grade school girl. Samuel, the sexual predator Pastor who resides at Seon Bhvan Badham Mukku, Mannadi used to visit neighborhood houses for setting up Pentecostal Prayer meetings as a ruse to lure innocent children to satisfy his perverted sex habits.

 

On the day of the rape of the fifth grade student, Pastor Samuel visited a house where students were undergoing tuition. In the guise of conducting prayer meeting for students, sex offender Pastor Samuel visited the house and lured an innocent girl and raped her in an isolated room. The wounded victim who was  crying and bleeding ran to the teacher and complained. The teacher in turn reported the incident to Suranad Police Station and the Police Inspector arrested Pastor Samuel for rape and child molestation.

 

It is reported that Pastor Samuel used to order and distribute pornographic literature along with biblical lesson plan to neighborhood houses. Anti poronography activists point to stories like this as proof for the degrading effects of pornography. Several such sex offenses by pastors and priests have been reported recently. Sex offenses and pornography literature distribution in the guise of missionary activities destroys relationships, demeans women and adolescents, abuses children, and engenders a perverted and harmful view of sex. Media, social activists and cultural leaders should not be ashamed in exposing sex abuses of priests and pastors. Experts on sex abuse and pornography say that society’s ambivalence towards Priests and pastors habits make such perverted sex abuse happens. It is time for the police and the community to prevent sexual exploitation of children by priests and pastors.
