Johannesburg - A 52-year-old priest has been arrested for allegedly raping a 43-year-old woman at his home in Duduza, East Rand police said on Tuesday.
Police spokesperson Captain Thobile Xakeka said the man was arrested on Monday after the woman reported the alleged rape to police.
It is believed the woman went to the priest's house to visit his wife when he allegedly forced her into a room and raped her, said Xakeka.
The priest's wife was not at home at the time.
Police were investigating the incident.
The priest will appear in the Nigel magistrate's court on Wednesday.
