A pastor who claimed to be able to give infertile couples “miracle babies” has been accused of a string of sexual assaults.

Gilbert Deya, 61, was charged with three counts of rape and one count of attempted rape against a woman.

He was further charged with one count of sexual assault-by-touching against a 14-year old girl, the Metropolitan police confirmed.

He appeared in custody at Camberwell magistrates court on Friday and has been remanded in custody to appear at inner London crown court for a preliminary hearing on 8 November.

Deya, from south-east London and originally from Kenya, has run the registered charity Gilbert Deya Ministries, which claims a UK membership of 36,000.
