Allegations
The man of God has been accused of rape and human trafficking. Omotoso is alleged to have groomed people and abused them from the age of 14.
If the court finds that the allegation of sex with minors is true, he will be convicted of statutory rape regardless if the act was consensual or not and he may face a life behind bars.
Over 30 young girls have come forward to detail their experiences at the hand of the alleged sexual predator. Two of these girls are Anele and Neliswa – former Idols SA contestants. The two girls spoke against Tim in plain truth.
The two claimed to have known about the abuse that went on in the church but kept quiet because of fear and threats that they got from the pastor. The twins who lived in the pastor’s house for almost 12 months said that it was their worst experience in life.
