A Christian pastor from Avadi, Chennai has been arrested for kissing a woman in Church while she was praying.
Scott David, hailing from New Colony in Morai near Avadi, is a pastor at a church in Thirumalai Nagar, Chennai. Six months ago, a 48 year old woman from Salom Nagar, Arikkambedu had met with the pastor and started sharing her personal family problems with him. The pastor had from then started frequenting her house to conduct ‘prayers’. He had told the woman all her problems would be solved if she comes to his Church and prays.
On April 17, the woman had gone to the Church in Thirumalai Nagar alone and was praying there with her eyes closed and knees bent. At that time, Scott hugged her from behind and kissed her. The woman shouted in fear and left the Church running. She directly went to the Tank Factory police station in Avadi and registered a complaint. Inspector Jeganathan registered a case and started his inquiry. The pastor was arrested by the police and produced before the Ambattur magistrate. He was later lodged at the Tiruvallur sub-jail.
