Two evangelical pastors are accused of grooming and sexually abusing at least six girls, allegedly telling victims the acts were ordained by scripture. Boa Vista, Roraima state, northern Brazil arrest warrants issued by the Roraima court on 16 July; Wenderson Lima de Souza, 32, and Arielly Kamila Moraes de Souza, 24, leaders of Assembleia de Deus AD Kairos. The pair are now fugitives, according to police.
The news came after a 14‑year‑old filed a complaint in April that prompted a wider probe, and five more alleged victims subsequently came forward with comparable claims.
