MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A self-proclaimed pastor is charged with raping two girls for many years, from the time when one was 6 years old and continuing into her early teens, court documents show.
Sixty-one-year-old Jacoby Kindred, of Maplewood, faces two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. If convicted of both charges, he could face a sentence of 60 years in prison and/or an $80,000 fine.
A criminal complaint states that Kindred knew the girls – the oldest of which is now 16; the younger, 14 — since they were very young.
Police became aware of the abuse over the summer after the younger girl’s mother found a letter the girl had written describing sex acts with Kindred. When talking with authorities in August, the 14-year-old cried, saying the abuse started about eight years earlier and continued until she was 13.
