A church founder and self-styled "prophet" has avoided jail after he was convicted of sexually molesting his parishioners.

Walter Masocha, archbishop of the Stirling-based Agape for All Nations Church, was sentenced to 250 hours of unpaid work and placed on the sex offenders register for a year.

The 51-year-old was convicted of groping a schoolgirl and a deaconess.

A sheriff told him he had "suffered a spectacular fall from grace".

Masocha was found guilty after a trial at Falkirk Sheriff Court of putting his hand down the trousers of a schoolgirl, telling her he was trying to remove demons, and groping a deaconess while he was meant to be praying for her stomach complaint.

Masocha in 2007 came at a time when a lot of Zimbabweans were desperate for the leave to remain in UK. He manipulated and brainwashed people that he was the immigration officer. Many fell for his promises as he claimed to be an immigration officer. Of course many who did not follow the UK immigration were most vulnerable. He promised the followers so much in exchange of goods and in kind. So many were abused and are frighted to report. Unfortunately with the Zimbabwean culture he got his way in because when you are married, it can cost your marriage, same as if you are single- this can affect your potential husband. Masocha raped his own wife sister in Zimbabwe. He still remain a dangerous man.

Today I am appealing to all Zimbabweans illegal or not, this man is dangerous and you should report if he ever have touched, or said something inappropriate. This has to be stopped and only me and you can stop it. Your immigration status will not be affected by saying the truth. We say NO to sexual abuse. A petition is coming to sign and if affected please sign. Masocha is a peadophile.
