A born-again prophet, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for impregnating a 17-year-old girl with whom he fathered twins and infected her with HIV.
Prophet Elijah James Kimera, 35, of Faith Centre Church of All Nations at Lusanja in Wakiso has been sentenced by High Court Judge, Margaret Mutonyi.
Prosecution’s key evidence revealed that the victim’s mother was a member of Prophet Elijah’s church who engaged in sexual relations with the church leader, later turned to her daughter resulting in the birth of twins.
It is reported that Prophet Elijah had sexual intercourse with the victim in the car on the church compound during nighttime.
The court further heard that the abuse continued until the victim gave birth to twins, an act Justice Mutonyi termed an abomination in African culture. END.
