A children’s pastor raped two vulnerable teenage girls after grooming them on Facebook, a court heard today.
Timothy Storey, 35, allegedly led a ‘double life’ expounding Christian values of abstinence at St Michael’s Church in Victoria, central London, while targeting young girls from the congregation.
Storey began his ‘incremental, insidious’ grooming by sending the girls flattering messages on Facebook, jurors at Woolwich Crown Court heard.
He allegedly sent explicit sexual content including photographs of his penis and his manipulation of the women was so powerful one of them described him as ‘more influential than God’, jurors were told.
Storey is said to have bullied girls when they didn’t submit to his demands, telling one she ‘wasn’t worth wasting a condom on’.
