Johannesburg - A pastor of a church in Alexandra was arrested at his home in Honeydew on the West Rand in relation to the rape of a 16-year-old girl.
Police spokesperson Inspector Paula Nothnagel said the pastor, 38, who works at the Shiloh Bible Church, was in custody and would appear in the Randburg magistrate's court on Thursday.
"The pastor took the girl to his home in North Riding in Honeydew at about 08:30 on Tuesday, where he apparently insisted on having sex.
"The girl refused, so the pastor raped her. He raped her again later that morning," Nothnagel said.
Nothnagel said that after the second rape, the girl escaped through the bathroom window and informed the security guard at the complex about the rapes.
"After the police were informed, the pastor was arrested,"
she said.
