Pastor Convicted of Raping Boys Radio Jamaica July 9, 2009 http://www.radiojamaica.com/content/view/19647/26/ The pastor who was accused of sexually molesting several boys at a boys' home in St. Mary was convicted on Tuesday in the St Mary Circuit Court. Donald Stewart who was the manager of the boys' home was found guilty of two counts of indecent assault by a jury. He is to be sentenced on Friday. Pastor Stewart was arrested and charged in April last year by members of Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse following allegations that he sexually molested several wards of the state. He was charged with 30 counts of indecent assault and buggery. The case sparked outrage from human rights groups when it came to light, with Jamaicans for Justice lamenting that enough was not being done to protect the welfare of children. The group also heaped blame on the Child Development Agency, for not being more proactive in its duties to uphold child protection regulations. |
