A PASTOR will appear before a Sangre Grande Magistrate today charged with buggering a 14-year-old schoolboy at his (the pastor’s) home on Wednesday morning.

According to police reports, around 8.30 am the teenager who lives in Sangre Grande went to the  Sangre Grande home of the pastor to drop off a jewelry box. The pastor later invited the unsuspecting teen into his home, grabbed him by the neck and dragged him into a bedroom. The pastor forced the teen to strip and then buggered him repeatedly. After the assault, the pastor warned the teen not to tell anyone and allowed him to leave.

When the victim returned home at 11.30 am, his grandmother questioned him as to why he took so long just to drop off a jewelry box at the pastor’s home. The crying youth later confessed to his grandmother who contacted the police. Sangre Grande officers led by Cpl Neville Sankar and including PC Vaughn Waldropt and PC Valentine visited the pastor’s home and arrested him.The teen was later taken to a medical facility where the District Medical Officer (DMO) medically examined him and confirmed to investigators that he had been sexually assaulted.
