SANTA CRUZ, Jamaica, Jan 03 2017 – Police have now charged the 64-year-old pastor of the Nazareth Moravian Church in Manchester with the rape of a 15-year-old girl.
Rupert Clarke was charged by police investigators today and is booked to appear in the St Elizabeth Parish Court tomorrow.
In the meantime, the police say other charges are pending as they deepen their investigations into other allegations against Clarke.
The police report that about 9:00 pm on Wednesday, a team was on patrol in a community near Santa Cruz when they observed a parked car that aroused their suspicion.
They went to investigate and reportedly found the pastor in a compromising position with the child.
He was immediately taken into police custody.
Police investigators have spent several hours questioning the parent of the child and other family members. (Jamaica Gleaner)
