Christian pastor sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a minor girl

Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) – A Christian pastor identified as Jose Prakash was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a 13-year-old girl multiple times. Apart from this sentence, the POCSO (Protection Of Children from Sexual Offenses) Court in Manjeri also ordered the 51-year-old pastor to pay Rs 2.5 lakh as compensation to the victim. The pastor of the ‘Pentecostal’ Church hails from Balaramapuram, near Thiruvananthapuram.

The original incident occurred in 2016 when the pedophile pastor traveled to Perinthalmanna, Malappuram, to attend a Christian Convention. During the Convention, the pastor convinced the parents that their children were possessed by demonic spirits, which could be exorcised by ‘special prayers’.

After hearing demonic spirits, the terrified parents invited the pastor to their home for prayers.

On 16th February 2016, Jose reached their house in Pullur and fondled the minor girl’s private parts. Prayers resumed at 9 a.m. the next day. The parents were made to believe that the girl needed special prayers. Jose took the minor girl into a bedroom and raped her.

The perverted pastor then convinced the family that the prayers should continue. After three weeks, Jose Prakash invited them to the house of Babu, a family friend in Anamangad. Late into the night, the mother woke up and found that the girl was missing. She searched and noticed the girl leaving the accused’s room. Meanwhile, Jose Prakash threatened the girl with ‘God’s Wrath’ if she revealed the abuse and silenced her. One day the victim’s mother got suspicious. When she questioned the girl about this, the victim narrated the incident to her mother.

Editorial Viewpoint

Instead of a Christian pastor if a Hindu Saint or priest would have been accused of such a crime and punished, the entire ‘secular’ intellectuals in our country would have started mudslinging at Hindu Dharma ! The media would have gone out of its way and criticised the Hindu Saints ! Now that the accused is a Christian pastor, there is silence everywhere. How many Hindus feel some pain from such a deafening silence ?
