Zimbabwean Pastor Convicted in UK

By Staff Reporter
United Kingdom-UK-based Zimbabwean gospel singer, model, and pastor Walter Chahwanda (34) has been found guilty of 17 crimes.
These include sexual offences against young girls and women. He used to be a pastor at the Apostolic Faith Mission, then later started his own church in Liverpool called Sound of Dominion.
Over a period of around four years, he targeted young women across the country that he had met through the Apostolic Faith Mission church, sending them intimate sexual pictures and videos of himself. He also sexually assaulted a child aged 14.
His method was the same in most of the instances. He would meet the children or young women through church-related activities across the country and would then add them to his Snapchat or Instagram accounts and continue talking to them online, normally at first.
But he would start to sexuaIise the chat, talking about the appearance of the girls and how he liked them. Then he would suddenly send them intimate pictures and videos of himself, often performing a sexual act. Several women did tell others about the pictures, and the Church was also made aware, but he refused to stop. His offending escalated as time went on.
