PORTLAND, Ore. – Police last week arrested a pastor who allegedly raped children, authorities said Wednesday.

Child rape suspect Maximo Ake-Be

Maximo Ake-Be, 31, faces charges of rape, sodomy and sex abuse in connection with a series of sexual assaults dating back to 1998, said Portland Police Sergeant Brian Schmautz.

Ake-Be appeared in court Wednesday and pleaded innocent on all charges. A judge set bail at $4.5 million.

The investigation began when two alleged victims recently reported that Ake-Be sexually assaulted them between 1998 and 2000. During that time, the girls and their families attended The Peach House, a private in-home church located in the 5300 block of Northeast Hoyt Street.

The girls were approximately eight and twelve years old when the alleged abuse began.

In 2006, Ake-Be became the Senior Pastor of Iglesia De Dios, located at 400 South Pacific Avenue in Kelso, Wash.

Investigators believe there are additional victims, associated with either The Peach House Church or the High Praises Fellowship Church, who have not yet come forward.

Iglesia De Dios shares space with High Praises Fellowship Church in Kelso. No one affiliated with High Praises Fellowship Church is a suspect in the investigation.

Ake-Be is in the U.S. illegally, police said. Immigration has placed a hold on him.

He will appear in court again on August 13. Ake-Be's wife told KGW she believes he's innocent.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call (503) 823-0182, or (360) 577-3412.

Solution: KICK ILLEGALS OUT and KEEP THEM OUT!

As for this illegal alien rapist: removed the offending body parts and ship him back to his country.

Looks like the Supreme Court has just saved another life... Another child rapist has been spared the death penalty.

If convicted...a big tall tree and a short stiff rope is all this pervert deserves, and a quick use of both would be best.

Sorry 3 years doesn’t cut it.
The sorry POS needs to be introduced to the boys in the exercise yard and to have them informed of his deed.

This is the first I have heard of this. My first instinct is to not trust charges made many years afterwords. Give him a chance to refute the charges in Court. If proven guilty, I have no problem hanging him.

And no doubt he set up a “church” to have access to children and be free of the IRS. And 3 years?! What? we can't kill ‘em and we can't lock the creeps up for any real time (like life!)? The IRS, the INS and the courts are all joke bureaucracies.

He’ll have his day in court, and you’ll pay his bill. Deport his illegal alien butt.

“What an odd name. Where is this schmuck from?”

Not sure. But he’s been indicted and other victims are coming forward.

A pastor who worked in Portland and Kelso is accused of sexually abusing at least two Portland girls.
By Brad Ford
Wednesday, July 2, 2008

31 year old Maximo Ake-Be faces 20 counts of sexual abuse related charges. He’s currently a senior pastor at Iglesia de Dios church in Kelso, which is where he was arrested. The charges stem from two girls who attended The Peach House church in 1998 and 2000. They were eight and 12 years old at the time. The Peach House is a private in-house church in Northeast Portland. Since the indictment was handed down, another alleged victim has come forward and Portland Police detectives believe there may be other victims.

Sadly I expect, if this State of Oregon is similiar to parts of Eastern Canada, there will be those who try to nay say the then poor little girls.

Case after case in Canada in the medical profession and other trusted occupations and yes, dentistry, where assault has taken place.

I wonder why the man remained so long as an illegal alien?.

“I wonder why the man remained so long as an illegal alien?.”

Because Washington and Oregon will not inquire about legal status. Because the media is complicit as are our national and state leaders. I just read 5 more news items about this story. Not one of them mentioned the man is an illegal alien.

Have you listened to McCain? At least Obama doesn’t insult the rest of us over the issue of john’s Mexican ‘God’s children’

Another article:

Wednesday, Joel Davis described the passionate preacher he met less than a year ago.

“He was what I’d describe as a real Hellfire-and-brimstone-type preacher,” Davis said.

Davis rented the building out to Ake-Be for his church in Kelso, Iglesia de Dios.

But now, he said he can’t believe Ake-Be has been accused of sexually abusing two children.

“When you have someone in a leadership role and they violate that trust, it’s the ultimate form of betrayal,” Davis said. “Something like this needs to be brought out into the light and if what’s alleged is true, he needs to suffer the consequences.”

Ake-Be is facing charges of one count of first-degree rape, two counts of second-degree rape, four counts of first-degree sodomy, four counts of second-degree sodomy and nine counts of first-degree sex abuse.

Not sure. But there are many Muslim Temples in Mexico and many Muslim Hispanic temples in the USA. This guy made his own church up out of his perverted mind. I can’t find his ‘church’ (in his home, and his stupid wife says he’s innocent!) affiliated with anything.
