MILFORD, Mass. (WWLP/AP) - The pastor of a Brazilian church in Milford has been charged with raping a child in her congregation.

Police say 31-year old Ana Almeida from the Eastern Massachusetts town of Milford raped a child in her congregation almost a dozen times over two years.

The victim was allegedly a girl from her congregation at a Brazilian church, Plenitude of God.

Investigators are now focused on finding out if the pastor made sexual passes at any other members of the church.

She is currently under house arrest.
