A church minister who sexually assaulted a teenage girl and a woman has been jailed, along with his female secretary who acted as his accomplice.
Benjamin Egbujor and Rose Nwenwu “preyed on their victim’s vulnerabilities, whilst satisfying their own sexual urges under the guise of private prayer,” said Police Constable James Bell, of Scotland Yard’s Offences and Child Abuse Command (SOECA).
The Inner London Crown Court heard the younger victim, who was under the age of 16, was told by Egbujor, a bishop at the Jubilee Christian Centre in Peckham, South London, that she had been “chosen” to attend a special private prayer session.
But after being taken to the 55-year-old’s office, the girl was forced to undress and oil was poured over her.
After she told her family what happened, they reported the incident to London’s Metropolitan Police who discovered during the course of their inquiries that another woman in her 30s had also been sexually assaulted by Egbujor.
