NY pastor held
An internationally acclaimed pastor is behind bars after a report of carnal abuse was made.
The pastor is locked up for the alleged carnal abuse of a teenager and sexual assault of another.
The pastor who is in Jamaica on the invitation of a local Ministry is accused of abusing the teens at a Westmoreland hotel over the weekend.
According to RJR news the Minister who hails from Brooklyn, New York is a self proclaimed healer, and is known worldwide for his alleged acts of healing, which have reportedly left millions in awe.
He was reportedly ministering at a tent crusade in Westmoreland last week and was in the company of two young girls, aged 14 and 15 years.
The girls reportedly accompanied him to Clarendon and upon their return were taken to a hotel in Negril where the pastor allegedly came unto the 14-year-old girl who resisted strongly.
It is further alleged that the pastor had sexual intercourse with the 15-year-old and then gave her money.
Nearby persons became suspicious and called the police and investigations led to the minister's arrest during the final stages of his crusade Sunday night, just minutes before he was scheduled to begin delivering his message.
The police say he will be charged late Monday.
In the meantime, some people are claiming that the pastor has been falsely accused.
The situation has left tension hanging over the Little London community and its environs where scores of residents turned out nightly for healing.
It has also caused a stir in the United States where thousands of persons have been sending weekly donations to his Ministry based in Brooklyn.
