A FORMER pastor, who fled the law for seven years, has been found guilty of maintaining a sexual relationship with his daughter’s 12-year-old best friend and indecent treatment of children.
An Ipswich jury found the 51-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of his victims, guilty of maintaining an unlawful sexual relationship with a child, and four counts of indecently treating a child under 16 in care.
In 2005 the man, after an affair with the girl’s mother ended, began abusing the then 12-year-old girl. He bought his daughter and the girl sex toys and lingerie which he forced them to wear around the house.
He would show the girl and his daughter pornography, and sexually abused the girl over a period of months.
