Tim Omotoso wife

Timothy Omotoso wife, Taiwo, lost her cool when one of the witnesses against her husband took to the stand. The 22-year-old Zondi was allegedly sexually assaulted by Tim, and she gave an account of the events as she experienced. Pastor Omotoso wife began making derogatory comments, a sign of utter disbelief and denial of what her husband did. It can be assumed that she came face to face with the other side of her husband, one he kept secret from her for a long time. At one point, the judge asked her to stop interrupting the court session with her condescending comments. This made her silent throughout the court. To South Africans, this erased any empathy South Africans had for her.

Tim Omotoso pictures frequented the dailies following his arrest by the Hawks. The man of God was alleged to have been involved in a series of illegal activities including rape and human trafficking. He is accused of grooming people and assaulting them as young as 14 years. This is a grievous offence punishable by law according to the statutory rape laws. If proven guilty, the pastor might spend the rest of his life behind bars. The allegation continued to associate Tim with prolonged assault over time while hiding behind the veil of the Church.
More than 30 girls came forward to level their allegations against the said sexual predator. Two of these girls are Anele and Neliswa - former Idols SA contestants. The two girls spoke against Tim in plain truth. The two claimed to have known about the abuse that went on in the church but kept quiet because of fear and threats that they got from the pastor. The twins who lived in the pastor's house for almost 12 months said that it was their worst experience in life.
The pastor, who is facing 63 criminal charges of Rape, Racketeering, and Human Trafficking, needs to call on his maker more than he used to. The law is clear on what is supposed to be done if he is proven guilty on all the charges that have been leveled against him. The Bible is also clear about what is to be done to people who commit crimes such as those of pastor Tim. Neither, the law of the land nor the law of God condone such behavior.
At this point in his life, pastor Omotoso net worth will not do much to help him. The matter rests on his lawyer's ability to successfully argue his case out. He also needs lots of prayers for self preservation. In spite of all the evidence and witnesses brought forward, Tim Omotoso is still innocent until proven guilty by the court of law.
