The arrest of four people, including a pastor, for rape and molestation of a nine-year-old boy in an apparent satanic ritual has rocked a Boksburg community
The grandparents of a nine-year-old boy, his uncle, and a pastor are expected to again appear in court on Tuesday for a suspected satanic ritual that led to the boy’s alleged rape and molestation, The Star reported on Tuesday.
The two grandparents, the 29-year-old uncle, and the 54-year-old pastor appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court on Monday for a formal bail application.
During the proceedings Investigating Officer Hendrik de Jager described the boy’s ordeal and said interviews revealed that over a period, possibly several years, the child was allegedly raped and molested multiple times by the group.
On one occasion the uncle and grandparents allegedly took the child to their place of worship, the Full Gospel Church of God in Witfield, Boksburg, where the pastor was based.
