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

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.
to Portland: Still proud of that Sanctuary state you've created?
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.
Give me that old time religion...
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.
Wake Up America!!
Did their parents think the girls were safe because he wasn’t on the Megans Law registry?
No horse, no drop. HOIST him by his neck and hang him till he’s dead.
What an odd name. Where is this schmuck from?
Guilty.

Wait, wait; don't tell me...
Snooooooooooooore.
Like Father Divine?????
(Or Jim Jones, who boinked anything that moved in the People’s Temple, for that matter.....)

“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.”
He’ll have his day in court, and you’ll pay his bill. Deport his illegal alien butt.
Deportation by Trabochet. Sell tickets. Put up a bullseye! Make it a competition.
