A pastor, a widow and seedy designs
Widow charges him with exploiting her sexually, recording the act on hidden cameras and selling it to foreigners By Hemanth Kashyap and M K Ashoka Posted On Saturday, September 20, 2008
The `sex scam’ that rocked the city on Thursday has taken an intriguing twist with the victim charging the pastor with secretly filming her sexual acts and selling the tapes to foreigners.
The widow, 40, in a complaint to the Jnanabharati police, has alleged that pastor Babu Prasad of Mizpha Church, located in Rajajingar’s Gopalpur area, sexually exploited her on the promise of marrying her.
The woman, who attempted suicide twice on learning about the `porn CDs’, narrated her travails to Bangalore Mirror: “I lost my husband in an accident 23 years ago and I am a mother of a college-going son. I continued my husband’s business and was leading a decent life till I was taken to the Mizpha church by a friend.”
She was introduced to Pastor Prasad. Subsequently, she took a liking for his motivational talks. Prasad allegedly knew she was emotionally weak. “Prasad’s wife and relatives started visiting my house and persuaded me to embrace their faith. Prasad also used my house for conducting prayers. On April 1, asked me to return home from my factory. On my return, he exploited me sexually and got the whole act recorded.”
She claimed Prasad took her to a hotel on St Mark’s Road on May 4 and introduced her to two Americans. “He gave them the CD and asked me to spend a night with them. I refused and managed to escape with the CD. When I played it at home, I realised how I was deceived,” she said.
“When I questioned him, he said there was nothing wrong in making porn videos and selling it to foreigners,” she said and charged Prasad with taking away her ornaments and using her to obtain a Rs 12 lakh loan.
Meanwhile, Prasad lodged a complaint with the Vijayanagar police accusing her of drugging him before forcing him to have sex with her. Bangalore Mirror tried to contact him on his cellphone, but in vain.
The police said the pastor is absconding. They, however, admit the case is a sensitive one.
are you journalist?Post these in a valid news paper with proofs.Don’t brag in this anonymous blogs
Defender,
What are you defending? Persecuted christians fornicating around?
This comes from a leftist pro Christian newspaper in India and one of the most respected …. unfortunately they could only devote a few lines to Christians screwing around .. Is it because it is too common?

Sexual harassment
Bangalore: The Jnanabharathi police have registered a sexual harassment case against a pastor of a church. The police said Babu Prasad, pastor and a resident of RPC Layout near Vijayanagar, had sexually exploited a widow and recorded the sexual activities on CD. He also forced that widow to sleep with foreigners.
Please do not genarlise things. The act was committed by one person and this cannot be taken as a general issue and generalise the whole of christianity. There are only a few like these.
These type of black sheeps are found in all religions. The Bible says each sinner will be punished for their wicked acts. And it is the Law which has to take its course in finding out the truth and punish the culprit.
Indian constitution does not use Bible to prosecute law breakers. Bible says if the pastor prays to Jesus, he will be pardoned & will get salvation.
Bollocks!! This pastor shud get a lifer irrespective of what any book says. PERIOD.
I request all netizens to go to Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia. Mallu priests in collaboration with some American Baptists are indulging in anti-India and anti-Hindu propaganda on that site.

Please go to the sites and edit away all anti-India stuff in there.
If we do not do so, all that faecal matter would remain there as history. Please, please help!!
But what is wrong with the wikipedia articles? If the violence of a small section of a large Hindu community is recorded in history, it should not be treated as anti-India stuff.
If christians feel that Anti-christian voilence is growing in India, they are most welcome to leave the country and join the Vatican for good. Whose stopping them???
Vatican racists will not accept Indian xians. Alencherry is an arrangement of convenience to improve harvesting efficiency.
I was deeply saddened and surprised by this website about christian aggression and terrorism in india. What a lie! we tell people about jesus christ that is true, but accepting jesus christ is totally a voluntary thing, there is no force, and why do we do that? I am ashamed of all these lies and websites and organizations working behind this. I do not believe these lies will stand for a long time, pepople will understand the truth.
Not true. St thomas story that he roamed in Chennai is a lie according to vatican. Several TN temples were razed by Dutch & Portuguese to replace Hindu diety with Mary matha
Why preach Jesus in India when he has failed miserably in Europe?
Most Europeans dont believe in xianity. So pls go fix your home ground before seeking overtures.
Many European govts have trouble recruiting priests to take care of Churches. Nobody wants to be a priest there.
Some churches are now pubs & nightclubs. Bar right below altar. Example: Pitcher & Piano in Nottingham.
European govts desperate for priests, import xian worforce from India.
Arise Awake pal. India is already a deep spiritual country & does not need foreign or desert dogmas for salvation.
VINDO THOMAS! I am surprised by your statements, go and check in Andhra Pradesh what they are doing to convert people, they christian missionaries worse then Zakir Naik!
