Pastor Tim Omotosho is accused of sexual abuse

Sun Daily reports that the initial two count charges slammed on the 58-year-old Rev. Omotosho, who is the founder of Jesus Dominion International Church based in Durban, were amended after more women came out to claim he had also had sex with them.

Rev. Omotosho who is described as a very popular televangelist in that country was arrested at the Port Elizabeth Airport on April 21, 2017, after he was initially declared wanted by the police after he absconded when the news of the sexual assaults broke.
