Micheal Olurombi, a 60yr old pastor at Cherubim and Seraphim Church, situated in Birmingham, United Kingdom, was on Tuesday January 14th indicted by a U.K Court for 24 count charge of youngster's sexual Maltreatment and Assault.
Micheal was seen as liable of 15 counts of rape, seven counts of foul ambush, and two counts of rape. His better half, Juliana Oluronbi, age 58, was additionally sentenced for three counts of helping her spouse during the indecent action against his preys.
According to court papers, five of the seven victims are siblings who were abused at their home address where the church conducted services. The prosecutors told the court that Oluronbi hid under the guise of carrying out deliverance and spiritual works on his victims, male and females, to sexually assault them.
Micheal, whose main tactic he adopted was to claim "God had instructed him to administer Holy Baths’ to some of his congregation in order to cleanse them and protect them from evil influences."
The prosecutors told the court that police investigations showed, that his wife, Juliana Oluronbi, gave her unwavering support to her husband and particularly arranged abortions whenever any of the victims gets pregnant by her husband. “This case involved the serious and sustained sexual abuse of vulnerable young children by a questionable, pedophilia religious leader.
The young age of the victims greatly increases the seriousness of his offences. The judge says.
Judge Stresses; "As a result of the hard work and diligence of the prosecution team, and the strength of the evidence, the two defendants were found guilty after trial."
“It is only due to the great courage of the victims that this abuse was brought to light, and the full extent of the despicable and lawless behaviour of these people revealed.” Georgina Hewins, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said:
Oluronbi was arrested at Birmingham Airport in May last year, while trying to leave the country for Nigeria with some of his belongings and a sum of cash. Police are unable to determine whether he was trying to flee justice, but pointed out he had recently been confronted by one of his victims.
