A pastor accused of repeatedly having sex with two members of his congregation in order to ‘heal’ them of demons was today offered bail on rape charges.
He was today offered bail in the St Catherine Parish Court in the amount of $2 million and ordered to suspend all preaching activities until the case is completed.
The women, who were both 26 years old at the time, reported that they accompanied Campbell to a guesthouse located on Port Henderson Road, more popular known as ‘Back Road’, in St Catherine and engaged in sexual activities in order to get rid of their demons.
In applying for bail, Peter Champagnie QC, one of Campbell’s attorneys, noted that there was no claim by the prosecutor that the women were suffering from any mental illness and were of sound mind and discretion.
Attorney-at-law Kemar Robinson, who also represents Campbell, pointed out that the women did not make a report to the police until earlier this year.
