A girl claims that she lost her virginity at the age of nine, when the pastor of the United Pentecostal Church in Thomasville, Alabama raped her.

"He told me if I didn't say anything, he would come back and put flowers on the grave," Jane told AL.com. "If I did, he said demons would come and get me from my bed."

Jane hopes hopes the pastor, Mack Charles Andrews, remains in jail for the rest of his life.

According to Jane the abuse started in 1988, when she was seven and Andrews violated her with drumsticks, pens, letter openers, a flashlight and a brass eagle.

This was all to prepare her.

"A 7-year-old girl isn't ready to take a full grown man," Jane said.

Jane was abused until the age of 12, when she left the church.

Separate records accuse Andrews of trying to rape two thirteen year olds in 1990, and sexually assaulting a 16 year old in 1994.
