Zimbabwe police arrested a 33-year-old Roman Catholic priest for allegedly raping a 17-year-old girl who worked for him. He raped her a second time and asked her to marry him to cover up the crime, the girl( name withheld ) alleges.
The incident occurred in a Catholic Church in Mwenezi where the priest lived in separate rooms with the maid. Inspector Tinaye Matake, police spokesman for Masvingo Province confirmed the incident to Zimbabwe Sunday News. He said the priest had since been arrested and was in police custody. Inspector Matake speaking to the press, said the name of the priest would be made public once the case against him is investigated and charges filed in court.
According to the police spokesman, the priest sometime in August this year advertised for a maid to help with Church errands. The priest settled for the 17-year-old victim who is also Catholic, after screening of several candidates. The alleged victim moved from her Gokomere area residence into the Church in Mwenezi.

In September no sooner than the girl moved into the Church than the priest took her to his room and had sex. The girl alleges that sometime in September, she was required to prepare and serve food at a scheduled event in the Church and when she went to the priest’s room to inform him she was leaving for the event, he invited her to the bed and raped her. He threatened to terminate her job if she reported the sexual encounter and promised not to do it again, the girl told the police.
The priest breached his promise on October 18. In the evening of that day according to the girl, the priest woke her up for her to prepare food for visitors and caressed her as she prepared the food. His kitchen romance of the girl ended up in a bedroom sex romp as the priest took her to his bedroom.
After the second rape encounter according to the victim, the priest asked her to marry him saying he was in love with her. She believed she was being used and reported the incidents to Masvingo Provincial Police Victim Friendly Unit, while the priest was away in Mutare for a church meeting.
Catholic priests are sworn to celibacy vow, which bars them from marrying and fornication. The priest’s parish nor the Vatican at the time of this report had not made any statement on the case.

TILL WE HEAR THE PRIESTS SIDE OF THE STORY, LETS NOT JUDGE FOR NOW.
judgement will start from the church. priest or layman, we should all strive to do wat is right constantly seeking the face of God. He didnt say we will not sin, He said He will forgive us and heal our land.
non Catholic denominations and the worst are married clergies going crazy
with every woman they see. Why can't these sluppy looking slow moving
twisted minded maniacs make-up their minds about sex ? The slump is present religious dovotions todays are associated with gross infidelity of the
clergies. Majority of God fearing citizens are increasingly becoming reluctant
to attend any religious services conducted by repugnant crime oriented clergies. Thus, what does it tell, that a leading clergy in pursuit of salvation
is a public enemy aswell ? I rather pray alone in my house than allow the devil possessed clergy lead the sermon to God. Amen !
church. May God forgive him.
church. May God forgive him.
control over the nature, he should marry his own wife. After all, having
wife is not a sin before GOD. I advise that, we should not be quick to judge
because the Priest is a human being and cannot also be tempetd.

themselves maybe she kind of knew the priest was not going to marry her because one cannot collect the sacrament of priesthood and holy matrimony and since he has already been ordained as a priest his getting married to her will be in the next worl he comes. to the priest: You are a disgrace to all catholics becos i think priesthood is not a do or die profession since you knew you will not be able to hold tight the promise you made before God you can as well get married and save your self from this public disgrace. for the maid just tell the whole world he didn't keep to his promise instead of say he raped you, you both were just having fun at least at your age you should know what love making and rape is. He only made love to you. lastly I think this is a lesson for priest of his type (because there are many of them out there) that definately one day God will expose them.

how are we sure its true ?

Please let the girl forgive him and settle and marry the priest to save him from burning.
