Disturbing details of how rape and human trafficking accused pastor Timothy Omotoso allegedly wielded control over his victims and church congregants emerged in the Port Elizabeth high court on Tuesday.
Pastor Timothy Omotoso is appearing in the Port Elizabeth high court to face charges that include rape and human trafficking.
During the second day of testimony by state witness Andisiwe Dike, the court heard how she, along with other young women recruited to stay at Omotoso’s Jesus Dominion International church’s Durban mission house, would be forced to perform lewd acts for his satisfaction and pleasure, HeraldLIVE reports.
In the 13 months Dike spent at the mission house, starting in May 2016, she was allegedly repeatedly sexually assaulted by the man many called"the man of God". On occasion, Dike said, Omotoso would host a"happy hour" where he would throw sweets and other items at girls seated in one of the living rooms at the mission house.
During these sessions, Omotoso would allegedly also take a small packet of sweets, rub it against his groin while fully clothed, and throw it in the air to see who would jump the highest, Dike said.
