A PERTH pastor leading a “sexual double life” has been jailed for 10-and-a-half years for the “degrading” sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl, which included raping her while she was blindfolded, naked and drugged.

Married father-of-two, Dawid Volmer, better known as David Volmer, was one of eight men police charged over the alleged pedophile ring that abused the young girl.

Shocking details of Volmer’s role and the alleged involvement of the victim’s own father in exploiting her emerged when the disgraced evangelical Christian preacher was sentenced in the Perth District Court on Thursday afternoon.

Volmer, 41, pleaded guilty to 12 charges — indecently dealing with a child, sexual penetration of a child and stupefying in order to commit an indictable offence — over the course of three sexual encounters with the girl.
