A 42 year old Bishop from the Pentecostal Revival Ministries International, Daniel Gwedegwe, appeared in court on Tuesday charged with touching his 24 year old sister-in-laws private parts.

The Bishop however claims the complainant is on a campaign to tarnish his image because of a fall out dating back to October this year. The woman insists she was sexually abused by the Bishop up until she decided to report the matter.

She told the court that Gwedegwe would sometimes kneel and touch her private organ. Sometimes he would go as far as kissing her breasts. This is said to have started happening sometime in 2005 when the Bishop’s wife was said to be in the United Kingdom.
