Police are probing an ELCIN pastor, whose name cannot be provided at this time, over allegations that he raped a Grade 8 teenage girl at Eenghushe in Ohangwena.
According to a crime report provided by the police, the pastor raped the girl since she was 16.
Between January and August of this year, allegations are that the pastor lured his victim into his church house and had sexual intercourse with her whenever she was going or coming from school without her consent.

The suspect is yet to be arrested as police have indicated that their investigations are underway.
