A pastor of about 50 years has allegedly assaulted an eight-year-old, after which he gave her Ghc1.00.
The pastor allegedly called the girl on Monday to his house while she was selling some vegetables and sexually assaulted her.
“She screamed but to no avail, as the pastor’s residence where the act took place is a secluded area,” a resident told Citi News.

The pastor allegedly sent Ghc8,000 to the victim’s house to compensate her, but the family refused to accept the amount, and asked him to come back with it when the victim’s guardian returns.
The guardian of the victim has refused to speak to the media, saying her pastor has warned that “the downfall of a man of God should not be through her”.
