– Stanislav Vakhabov invited a boy, 14, from overseas to stay in his church flat
– He was jailed for at least five years and seven months, dating back to May 2015
– ‘Father Christoper’ was found guilty by NSW District Court jury in February
A decade after becoming a Russian Orthodox priest, Stanislav Vakhabov invited a 14-year-old boy from overseas to stay in his Sydney church flat, where he would be locked away and repeatedly sexually molested.
The 36-year-old, also known as Father Christopher, was on Friday jailed for at least five years and seven months for the crimes he committed within his home attached to the back of the Croydon parish.
His teenage victim, whose heavily religious mother sent him to Australia in 2014 to be under Vakhabov’s care, was told they would sleep in separate rooms and he would be provided with religious guidance.
