A 26-year-old pastor, Jonathan K. Farkollie, has been charged with attempting to commit sodomy against an 18-year-old man in Kakata, Margibi County. The incident dates back to 1 November, according to Liberian police, and the accused denies the allegations.
Liberian pastor Jonathan K. Farkollie, 26, has been charged with attempting to commit sodomy against an 18-year-old man in Kakata, Margibi County, according to a police charge sheet dated 11 November 2026 and cited by The Liberian Investigator.
Two friends of the complainant, also aged 18, told police they entered his home on 1 November and found Farkollie naked on a bed. The complainant said the pastor had twice proposed that they have sex and had attempted to force him after removing his clothes, according to the charge sheet.
Farkollie disputes the allegations. He told investigators that he had gone to the young man’s home to give him money to repair his phone and that his friends then beat him, stripped him, robbed him and expelled him from the home naked. Police arrested him on 1 November at around 8pm and charged him under Chapter 10, Section 10.2 of the Liberian Penal Code, according to The Liberian Investigator.
The Kakata Magisterial Court issued a warrant ordering him to answer the charge. The allegations have not been established in court.
