Imphal, August 08, 2013: All Manipur Christian Organization (AMCO) has condemned the sexual exploitation of minor girls at Grace Home, Jaipur allegedly by its founder Pastor Jacob John.

According to a release of AMCO, the alleged child trafficking, sexual abuse and rape of children at Grace Home and the incarceration of accused Pastor John Jacob has brought shame, anger and challenge to the Christian ministers and members.

AMCO condemned the series of crime allegedly committed by John Jacob towards his maid-servants and innocent children at Grace Home, and urged the authorities for a just and speedy legal verdict against the culprit.

Further, the organization clarified that the accused Jacob John and the institution he runs (Grace Home, Jaipur) has neither link with any Christian organization nor has he taken permission from any Christian Church organization in Manipur.

All Manipur Christian Organization (AMCO) and its constituent Churches have no knowledge about the person and his institution, but only through the public and media.

AMCO has no partnership with the person and his institution, it said.

AMCO also appealed to the people to be cautious against bogus organizations lurking around to recruit children, for money and carnal motives, in the guise of charity.

Parents and guardians must authenticate the genuineness of the person/s involved and the organization/institution before they entrust their children to the institutions, it added.
