A church pastor who ‘sexually’ nibbled a young girl’s ear leaving her so traumatised she started to self-harm.
Christopher Rose, 45, bit the 13-year-old’s ear in a sexual manner after befriending her family and gaining their trust.
The evangelical church pastor has been banned from going out at night, after a judge spared him a prison sentence.
At Aylesbury Crown Court Rose was ordered to do 60 hours of unpaid work by Judge Francis Sheridan.
Sentencing him, Judge Sheridan said the young girl’s family had ‘utter faith’ in Rose, adding that he had been in a position of total trust.
‘He was trusted in the family setting and then misused that position in relation to the daughter,’ said the judge.
‘I’m not going to stop him working as a pastor but I think my duty is to protect other young girls of that age from over-familiar treatment.’
