A Guyanese pastor in the Caribbean island chain of  the Turks & Caicos was on Monday sentenced to 11 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to raping two girls under the age of 15, multiple times.

According to The Sun, a local newspaper, Derrick Miller, on March 4, 2022, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted rape and one count of raping a child under the age of 16 and five counts of raping another girl who was under the age of 13.

According to the report, the victims met Miller sometime in 2014 at the Salvation Army Church in Providenciales, where he was a pastor up to the time of his arrest for the offences before the court. The rapes took place at his home in Blue Hills and at the Salvation Army Church building in Plantation Hills.
