This is a disturbing incident involving a serious breach of trust.

[woofie]

Owens said she had a sex spirit and lesbian demon inside her that he needed to cast out.

These things are running all over San Francisco

[Shimmer128]

I think the pastor got a little carried away there, don't you! I can't even conceive of such an event.
Man, I'm telling you, I'm not strong enough to fight a man, but in this case, I'm pretty sure I could have kicked the demon right out of HIM! (we know where HIS demons reside!)
Pervert! Jerk! (and worse)

[claptrap]

Wouldnt the woman have suspected something amiss when
he told her to lay on the floor?

"Leonard Ray Owens, who is free on $25,000 bail,..."

Absolutely a serious breach of trust and why is this "evil spirit" out on only $25,000 bail. If this is true or even thought to be true I would imagine that an appropriate bail would be in the 500,000 to 1 mil range.

Owens raped her again a month later, after he asked her come to his house to pray for another woman.

The first rape didn't convince her to stay away from this pervert? Good grief!

[Global2010]

Sounds like he was the one with a demon spirit not her.

What a rotten creep.

[Tahoe3002]

accused of raping...

Seems to be more than accusations here. Like suspicion of the woman's story. It took a second rape to report the first incident? So far all responses here accept the woman's story.

[The Brush]

Owens, a self-proclaimed prophet....

If he's a prophet he'll have no problem living in prison the rest of his days converting sinners.
Perhaps that's his calling. < /s >

[MeekMom]

This is a very sad story.
I wonder what man-made religion this pastor affiliates with?

[mtbopfuyn]

Ok, so what religion is this? Lots of details on the act but nothing on the church.

[ViLaLuz]

"The woman told police that Owens raped her again a month later, after he asked her come to his house to pray for another woman."

She went back to his house a second time after a rape? Something smells fishy here.

[ViLaLuz]

"The woman told police that the pastor wore a condom. Afterward, Owens, a self-proclaimed prophet, ordered her to wash her face in the name of Jesus and to read Psalm 105:15, which says to do no harm to prophets, the woman told police."

He's not a prophet, he's a "profit."

Must be he stopped paying his hush money, that's why she started squealing.

[AD from SpringBay]

Did he tell her to put some ice on it? Still waiting for the headline: Impeached Ex-President indicted in rape case

[pepperdog]

This story needs a lot of investigation. What woman would go back to the home of a man who had raped her to have a prayer session? I guess I just can't believe anyone would be that stupid or naive.

Second one this summer for DFW.
