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.
