St Catherine pastor charged with rape and fraud
A St. Catherine pastor has been charged with three counts of rape and obtaining money by false pretence. The police say the cases against 56 year old Winston Campbell, a Bishop of Kitson Town span several years.
Detectives assigned to the St. Catherine Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse say the pastor was charged after three persons reported the incidents to the Spanish Town Police last month.
It is reported that between 2014 and 2018, the individuals, who were members of the church located in Point Hill, St. Catherine, spoke to the pastor on separate occasions about various ailments they were experiencing.
One of the individuals was told by the pastor to pay over more than $200,000 for supplies and rituals needed to cure her of her illness, which the pastor claimed was as a result of evil spirits. The pastor then allegedly had sexual intercourse with her.
The two other victims, who are related, also went to the pastor on separate occasions. One of the victims was reportedly ill and the other was allegedly told by the pastor that she was being attacked by evil spirits.
They too paid over cash to Bishop Campbell and were then told to have sexual intercourse with him to be cured from their illnesses and freed from evil spirits respectively. He is to answer to the charges in the St. Catherine Parish Court on July 31.
The police are appealing to anyone who may have been a victim of Bishop Campbell to contact the Spanish Town Police at 876-984-2305, Crime Stop at 311 or the Police 119 emergency number.
