A pastor accused of raping a 14-year-old girl after telling
her that she was possessed by an evil spirit was yesterday
further remanded to prison by Magistrate Hazel Octive Hamilton
when he made a second appearance at the Georgetown
Magistrate's Court.
Orville Lespoir, 38, of Lodge is accused of committing the
act on April 26.
According to reports reaching this newspaper, on the day in
question Lespoir who has been a pastor for the past 12 years,
picked up the juvenile from a house and took her to D'Aguiar
Park.
While there he reportedly told the girl that she had an
evil spirit in her and he was a spiritual leader. Lespoir
reportedly told her that in order to get the demon out he had
to have sex with her.
Lespoir, a father of nine, was later arrested and charged
with the crime. He made his first appearance before Principal
Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle last week and was remanded
to prison.
The matter continues on July 6.
