A Brooklyn minister allegedly shook a 13-year-old boy from his sleep and raped him as the teen cried for help, authorities said yesterday.

The Rev. Donald Jean, 35, was arrested Monday night - two days after his Flatbush parishioners alerted cops to the alleged abuse, authorities said.

The boy was examined at Brookdale University Hospital before the minister was charged, and cops were investigating whether more boys from Jean's parish may have been molested, police said.

A law enforcement source said the boy was sexually assaulted six times between April 1 and 13 at Jean's Carnarsie home.
