ZIMBABWE
Inquisitr
A church bishop in Zimbabwe, accused of raping a churchgoer under hypnosis, was brought to Harare’s Victim Friendly Court last week.
Danmore Magorimbo, 45, a bishop for the Abundant Life Global Ministries in Harare, reportedly approached the woman in the prayer room and offered his counsel. According to All Africa, Magorimbo told the churchgoer that her husband transmitted evil spirits to her through sex and that she must avoid coitus with him immediately.
“He told me that my husband was satanic and most times he would order me not to be intimate with him. I was to be cleansed of the evil spirits deposited by my husband in my womb but I had no idea how,” the alleged rape victim said in her testimony.
Shortly after Magorimbo denounced the woman’s “satanic” husband, the bishop, together with an accomplice, reportedly performed a ritual that allowed them to hypnotize her, making her less resistant to sexual advances. The woman said, “When Magorimbo touched my forehead during prayers I would lose control, dance or move with closed eyes but not hitting anything.”
