A 45-year-old pastor of the Lord of Nation Church was arrested by agents of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) based on a complaint of a 17-year-old girl, who he has allegedly sexually abused for almost 10 months until the girl was rescued on Monday in Mandaluyong City.
CIDG head Chief Supt. Samuel Pagdilao said the suspect was Antonio Llamado, 45, and resident of Mandaluyong City.
Pagdilao said elements of the Women and Children Protection Division, led by Senior Supt. Emma Libunao, rescued the victim from the suspect’s house where he was also arrested.
Citing the victim’s account, Libunao said Llamado recruited the girl into the sect in August 2011.
