A Bronx minister was indicted Friday on charges he raped a teenager in his congregation.

The Bronx District Attorney says Reverend Michael Clare had a sexual relationship with the girl for nearly five years, starting when she was 12 years old.

Clare is the pastor at Harvest Worship Center International in Wakefield and is also the principal of the Harvest Preparatory Academy.

He was arrested in June after the girl notified her family of the relationship.

Clare faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
