SAVANNAH, Ga. (CN) – A pastor sexually battered a woman in his home while counseling her after the death of her father, the alleged victim claims in court.

Kadijah Davis sued Nathaniel Small, Jr., Barbara Small, and Greater Friendship Baptist Church, in Chatham County State Court.

The plaintiff, who lives in Savannah, claims Nathaniel Small sexually battered her in the home he shares with his wife Barbara.

As pastor of Greater Friendship Baptist Church, Small offered counseling services to church members and others, according to the complaint.

After Small conducted the funeral service for plaintiff’s father in January 2013, he offered to provide “bereavement or grief counseling” to plaintiff, who was not a member of his church, she claims in the lawsuit.
