Bishop Sentenced To 21 Years For Raping Own Daughter, Claims It Was The Devil Who Forced Him

Bulawayo regional magistrate Sibongile Msipa-Marondedze sentenced a 49-year old Bishop (name withheld) at Church Ways of Salvation Apostolic to 21 years in prison. The Bishop was convicted on three counts of rape and indecent assault after the court heard that he started raping his now 19-year-old daughter when she was 14 years old. The rape started after the child had been raped by a neighbour. The Bishop would claim that he was acting on instructions from God.

Said the magistrate in passing sentence,

The accused person’s blameworthiness is very high due to the fact that he is the complainant’s biological father. Accused person is a danger to the society and to himself. People like him should be taken out of the community and be jailed for a long time,

The bishop tried to blame the devil saying he was not responsible. He will serve 17 years in prison after the magistrate suspended 4 years on condition that he does not commit a similar crime.

  1. What devil is the so called bishop talking about if its not him who is the actual devil . he deserved even worse than the 21 years, actually the 17 years. Like the Bible says, bere rinouya rakafuka dehwe rehwai and goes on to cheat people through the so called church that he establishes. People beware dont just follow the wind.
