Reuben Chizor, a Pastor of The Hope Restoration Ministries in Queens Village was sentenced on Tuesday to prison for raping two teenage girls in the basement of his church. Chizor’s victims were 12 and 14year old sisters who are members of his Hope Restoration Ministries congregation.
According to NY Daily News, the trial testimony revealed last month that on July 27, 2011, Chizor took the 14-year-old victim to the church basement, where he lived, and raped her. In the same vein, he raped the 12-year-old on Aug. 22, 2011.
Additional reports hint that in May 2013, the 56-year-old pastor continued with the crime by abusing one or both of the girls.
In July 2015, the girls revealed to each other they were being raped. Thereafter, they notified the police about the crime.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown while sentencing Chizor, said: “The defendant took advantage of his position as a man of the cloth and the trust placed in him by his followers to satisfy his depraved desires. Through manipulation and conniving control, he sexually abused his two young victims for nearly two years.
According to him, ‘What the defendant forced his victims to endure was horrendous and as punishment, he now will be spending a lengthy term behind bars.
