A middle-aged pastor who was caught in the act defiling a 13-year-old boy has been arrested by the police in Migwani, Kitui County, Kenya.

The suspect, who runs a church in Mutulani area, on Tuesday confessed to having sexually abused three boys.

Migwani OCPD, Nicholas Mutua, told K24 Digital that the preacher was on Tuesday evening (November 3) caught sodomising a 13-year-old boy in his house.

“After the suspect was confronted, he confessed to have sodomised two other boys on separate occasions,” said Mutua.

The three minors have since been taken to Mwingi Hospital for examination, said the OCPD.

The boys told police that the suspect had, actually, sexually abused them on different dates in the recent past.

“We will arraign the suspect once investigations are concluded,” said OCPD Mutua.
