Pastor Accused Of S*xually Assaulting 12-Y-O Held
The Kingston pastor who was being sought by the Centre for the Investigation of S*xual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) for repeatedly having s*x with a 12-year-old girl before impregnating her is now in jail.
Kenneth Blake, 52, pastor of the Harvest Temple Apostolic Church, located on Slipe Pen Road, was arrested and charged yesterday with rape, forcible abduction, grievous s*xual assault, s*xual touching and s*xual intercourse with a person under 16 years old.
The charges were laid after he turned himself in to investigators at CISOCA. Blake was accompanied by his attorney and members of his congregation, law-enforcement sources revealed.
He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear before the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on August 22.
The Gleaner first reported last week that the now 14-year-old has given investigators a detailed statement in which she alleged that Blake initially forced himself on to her before he began to reward her after their s*xual encounters.
“He would give her money and other gifts so that she would not tell anyone,” one source revealed.
However, according to the source, the alleged s*xual relationship came to light in June this year when the 14-year-old discovered that she was pregnant and confessed everything to her mother.
According to law-enforcement sources, the pastor is engaged to the mother of the 14-year-old girl.
One source said the child reported that she would often visit the clergyman’s St Andrew home to look for her older sister, who was sent to live with the pastor “due to the lack of convenience at her mother’s home”.
She reported that during one of those visits in 2015, the pastor sent her older sister “to downtown Kingston” before having “s*xual intercourse with her against her will”.
According to her account, the clergyman also supplied her with money and other gifts before their s*xual encounters ended in April this year.
MY GOODNESS! UP ON THE ALTAR EVERY SUNDAY PREACHING TO OTHERS AND LOOK AT ONE OF YOUR SINS. CAN JUST IMAGINE HOW YOUR SCROLL LONG! COULD BE A FRIGGING MURDERER AS WELL!!
Why did members of the congregation accompanied the rapist pastor? :mewek :hoax2 :bingung
What kind of message is the congregation sending by attending court with this demon. They should be supporting this young girl instead of the pig of a pastor. When will church people realize that pastor is not there for them to worship.
