Jane said she lost her virginity to her pastor on her father’s grave when she was just 9 years old.
It was, she said, the culmination of two years of “grooming” at the hands of Mack Charles Andrews, pastor of the strictly conservative United Pentecostal Church in Thomasville. Jane is a pseudonym to protect the identity of the victim.
“He told me if I didn’t say anything, he would come back and put flowers on the grave,” Jane said. “If I did, he said demons would come and get me from my bed.”
Jane hopes 55-year-old Andrews, jailed for nearly two years on multiple sex offenses involving multiple minors, will spend the rest of his life in prison.
“My ex-pastor is my rapist,” she told AL.com.
Court records show Andrews is set for a settlement docket Tuesday at 9 a.m. At a settlement docket, judges typically ask whether a defendant wants to enter into a plea agreement.
