A businesswoman on Monday, January 9, told an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, Lagos State, that her 17-year-old daughter was allegedly defiled by a pastor, Chris Mcdouglas.
According to newsmen, the woman alleged that the clergyman who is of the Peculiar Generation Assembly Church, Lagos, allegedly had sex with the survivor at the back of his church and in different hotels on several occasions.
The victim’s mother, who was led in evidence in chief by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Dr Babajide Martins, told the court that the defendant raped her daughter from 2017 to 2020 in the guise of taking her out for gospel ministration.
Mcdouglas is standing trial on nine counts bordering on defilement, rape and sexual assault by penetration, preferred against him by the Lagos State Government.
While testifying before Justice Ramon Oshodi in court, the distraught mum said when she found out about the abuse, she confronted the clergyman. She claimed he bursted into tears and blamed it on the devil.
