A
randy spiritual leader who deceived a married woman by having s*x with
her to claiming to cure her marriage problems has been jailed.
A spiritual healer who tricked a mother into having s*x with him by
claiming it would cure her marriage problems has been jailed for 12
years, Dailymail reports.
The man identified as 30-year-old Syed Shah, had persuaded the
woman to hand over £6,000 for help to 'purify' the 28-year-old woman's
relationship after she came to him for help.
Not done, he ordered her to perform daily readings and sacrifice a
goat but when this didn't work, she told her to have s*x with him. He
has now been found guilty of two charges of rape and one of fraud
following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
Judge Patrick Thomas QC also ordered Shah, who also sexually
assaulted another woman while performing a healing ritual, to pay the
victim £10,000 compensation.
Judge Thomas told Shah: 'This was a vile set of offences. You
abused the high reputation that your family name gave you within the
community in order to have your will with a perfectly decent and
respectable young woman who had the misfortune to be vulnerable because
of her personal circumstances.'
The court heard how the woman, who had been married for three years
and had a young son, was having difficulties in her marriage.
She was introduced to Shah by a friend in June last year and he
offered to take steps to 'purify' her relationship, ordering the
readings and goat sacrifice.
It was revealed in court how the woman had s*x with Shah on two
occasions, and also gave him £6,000. But she began to feel uncomfortable
about what was going on and concerned that she was being unfaithful to
her husband.
She later went to the police. But, Shah denied having s*x or taking
any money from her. It was later found to be lies. Shah was jailed for a
total of 12 years and ordered to register as a sex offender for life.
