MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) –A 62-year-old Maplewood man and self-proclaimed pastor was sentenced Thursday to 12 years in prison for raping two young girls for almost a decade.

Jacoby Kindred was convicted on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, and was given consecutive sentences of 144 months for each.

According to the criminal complaint, Kindred was considered the grandfather to his two victims, even though he was actually the father of their mother’s ex-boyfriend, and not a blood relative.

The victims — who are now both teenagers — would often sleep over at Kindred’s home beginning when they were both young girls.
