Police in Mukono is holding a born again Pastor over allegations that he sodomized a 16 year old boy who was a member of his congregation.

In a statement released by Kampala Metropolitan Police, the suspect has been identified as Simon Mpinga alias Pastor Ronnie 31 who was arrested on 27 November 2018 around 10am following a report filed against him by the victim.

According to a case reported at Mukono Police video SD REF 38/25/11/2018, the pastor caressed, squeezed and kissed the victim before applying a lubrication cream onto the victim's anus before sodomizing him.

This was after the Pastor had told the victim to wait at his house for Ushs 20,000 that he had asked for before he arrived late and convinced him to sleep over since it was already late.

Police also says when investigations were done, they confirmed that this was the second time the same pastor was being arrested on similar allegations.

The statement further shows that the suspect was first arrested in May 2016 SD REF 23/12/05/2016 on sodomy allegations but managed to bribe his way into the victim's family and the case prematurely closed after expression of no further interest in the case by the victim's family.

Pastor Ronnie is currently detained at Mukono Police Station on charges related to sodomy, rape and defilement.
