Church Member Bags 15 Years for Penetrating Fellow Church Member Inside Uncompleted Building
A 19-year-old man, Francis Caulker, has been sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for the sexual penetration of a 15-year-old girl, following a ruling by Justice Adrian Fisher in Freetown.
Politico reports that the court found Caulker, a member of the Faith Healing Bible Church at Devil Hole, guilty last week Friday for persistently assaulting the child, who was also a member of the same congregation.
In his sentencing remarks, Justice Fisher detailed how Caulker had pursued the victim for nearly a year despite her repeated refusals. The judge stated that Caulker ultimately carried out the act on multiple occasions in an unfinished building.
“The way he executed the plan demonstrates the degree of the convict’s planning,” Justice Fisher said, emphasizing the calculated nature of the crime. He added, “There is a reason why children are not permitted to engage in sexual intercourse… you as an adult ought to understand that a child should not be doing that.”
