A church leader who has been charged with one count of rape and one count of indecent assault, has now been taken to the holding cell at the Suva Magistrates Court.

Fijivillage has received confirmation that the pastor will appear in court later this afternoon.

However, he is likely to face further charges as the church leader is allegedly involved in some other cases.

The pastor allegedly impregnated some underage girls who were members of his congregation.

Chief of Investigations and Intelligence ACP Henry Brown said investigations continue in relation to some other cases.

ACP Brown is calling on members of public who have information regarding any cases involving the church pastor, to contact police on 3315599.

It is alleged that the pastor has more than 10 children out of wedlock.

It is also claimed that a 13-year-old was also allegedly impregnated by the pastor.
