Harlem pastor who moonlights as therapist charged with rape over accusations of trysts inside the church with patient during sessions - New York Daily News


A Harlem pastor who moonlights as a therapist has been charged with rape over accusations of trysts inside the church with a patient during sessions.

Kirton Lashley, 57, allegedly had sex with the victim, a woman in her 30s, during sessions beginning in October 2016 and lasting through December at the Beulah Wesleyan Methodist Church on W. 136th St. near Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd.

Under the law, a person in the care of a medical doctor or mental health professional cannot consent to sexual activity with the provider. The criminal complaint against him does not describe any forcible conduct.

For more than two years the pastor and patient “engaged in a sexual relationship,” according to court papers.
