An Ekiadolor Magistrate Court sitting at Ekiadolor has sentenced one Pastor Uwen Friday to five years imprisonment for defiling a 12- year- old girl.
Pastor Uwen was said to have forcefully raped the victim at a farm in Okokhuo village, Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State.
The incident resulted in a five months pregnancy for the girl.
Pastor Uwen was arraigned on a one count charge of unlawful sexual intercourse.
He pleaded guilty to the charge when it was read to him.
The Presiding Magistrate, F.I Oghoator, in her judgment sentenced Pastor Uwen to five years imprisonment with hard labour without an option of fine.
Another pastor, Samson Odeyemi, was also arraigned at an Iguobazuwa Magistrate Court for raping a married woman.
Police Prosecutor, Again James told the court that the offence was committed on May 14 when the pastor took the victim to a river for spiritual cleansing.
The victim was said to have gone to the pastor to seek healing because she was having spiritual attacks.
Pastor Odeyemi reportedly asked the victim to pull her clothes and thereafter forcefully raped her.
