The three women who were raped and sexually assaulted by Agape Healing Church Ministry Pastor Waisake Tulavu have told the court this morning that they are still being mocked by their family members and fellow villagers.
One of the victims who attends USP told the court that her cousins say to her for her to go to them so they can deliver her.
She says that she has also stopped herself from going to church after what had happened to her.
The woman told the court that she declares Tulavu is guilty for the rest of his life.
One of the victims says that the incident has ruined her personal life and that her family members do not trust her.
She added that she lost her job and her workmates used to mock her.
The final victim told the court that after the incident had happened her fellow villagers used to make fun of her and say things to her.
She also says that she sits at home and thinks of what Tulavu did to her.
Meanwhile, the Assemblies of God Church has today apologized to the women who were raped and sexually assaulted by Agape Healing Church Ministry Pastor Waisake Tulavu.
Church General Superintendent Reverend Dr Mosese Cakau was summoned to court by High Court Judge, Justice Daniel Goundar.
While taking the stand this morning, Rev. Dr Cakau told the court that the church does not condone these actions and does not embrace these teachings and that the actions of Tulavu were his alone and not of the church.
He says he cannot fathom what the women went through as their trust was betrayed by a man of the cloth.
He adds that the teachings of deliverance by Tulavu are un-biblical and not in the scripture.
Rev. Dr Cakau says that he knows of Tulavu but does not know him personally.
He says that Tulavu also needs rehabilitation and restoration.
It was also heard in court that Tulavu was trained at the Calvary Church in Samabula.
Tulavu was found guilty of four counts of rape and one count of sexual assault and he will be sentenced on Friday.
