A bishop from Belvedere has been jailed after forcing a teenage girl to undress and pouring oil over her during a “private prayer session”.
Benjamin Egbujor, 55, of Harold Avenue, was also sentenced for sexually assaulting a woman in her 30s who he abused in the same way.
He was sentenced at Inner London Crown Court to three years and four months.
Police started investigating Egbujor in 2014 after the girl, who was under the age of 16, reported to family she had been abused by him after being taken into his private office for an individual prayer session.
During interviews the woman also revealed Egbujor had assaulted her too.
Rose Nwenwu, 43, of Thurlestone Road, West Norwood, was Egbujor’s secretary and took part in the abuse of the older victim.
