With time off for good behavior, Fraser will serve two years.<\/p>\n<p>Fraser, who was stunned by the verdict, was led from the courtroom in handcuffs to the cheers and jeers of the crowd outside on Bank Lane.<\/p>\n<p>The sex offender&#8217;s wife, Jacqueline, who committed perjury in an attempt to keep her husband out of jail, was seen sobbing and carrying on after the ruling. There was no pity from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>The trial, which took three years to complete, was a circus-like mockery of justice with judicial flip-flops and dozens of postponements for ridiculous reasons with defence lawyers using a variety of stalling tactics.<\/p>\n<p>Fraser was the pastor of the Pilgrim Full Baptist Temple and was supposed to be counseling a teenage girl in his congregation who had issues with her mother. Instead, he\u00a0 repeatedly had sex with the teen.<\/p>\n<p>The victim testified that the bishop told her that no one would believe her and that he &#8220;knew people in high places&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Fraser had arrived at the court smiling but the magistrate&#8217;s ruling wiped the smile from his face.<\/p>\n<p>Fraser was previously arrested on the same charges in 2006, but was discharged by Magistrate Marilyn Meeres who ruled there was no physical evidence to link Fraser to the charges.<\/p>\n<p>The Court of Appeal overruled Meeres&#8217; ruling and ordered a retrial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magistrate Carolita Bethel sent the religious charlatan Randy Fraser to jail for three years after finding him guilty of having sexual intercourse with a minor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[292,32,49,171],"class_list":["post-15689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-headlines","tag-child-abuse","tag-courts","tag-law","tag-religion-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15689\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
