2* Pastor on trial for rape, grievous sexual assault

A Kingston based pastor, accused of rape and grievous sexual assault, had his bail extended when he appeared in the Kingston & St Andrew Parish Court on Monday.

He is scheduled to return to court on February 1.

It is alleged that, while counselling sessions were being conducted, the pastor had sexual intercourse with the woman without her consent.

The incidents reportedly took place during the period 2009 to 2015.

The allegations were denied by the pastor’s attorneys Peter Champagnie and Richard Lynch during the previous court hearing on November 13.

During the bail application, the attorneys pointed out that the complainant took nearly five years to make a report.
