According to the police memo, Rutendo claims that the Goodness and Mercy Ministries preacher forced himself on her on several occasions after her husband died.
Rutendo revealed that a couple of months after her husband died, Prophet T Freddy proposed love to her, but she declined as she was still mourning her husband.
However, on one particular occasion, Prophet T Freddy is alleged to have rap_ed Rutendo after he asked to stay the night on the basis that it was late.
A local publication reports that on the said night, Freddy slept on Rutendo’s bed while she sat on a chair before he rap_ed her moments later without using protection.
Prophet T Freddy is alleged to have repeated the visits to Rutendo’s place of residence and rap_ed her each time.
After she filed the report, Rutendo was referred to Parirenyatwa Hospital for medical examination.
Prophet T Freddy has since denied the rap_e allegations as he claims that she is trying to extort him.
