45-year-old American missionary, Eric Tuininga, has been sentenced to 10 years in a United States Federal Prison after he was found guilty of defiling a 14-year-old Ugandan girl, who was under his care at the Orthodox Presbyterian Church based in Mbale District.<\/p>\n

United States District Judge Marc. T. Treadwell ordered Tuininga of Milledgeville Georgia to pay $20,000(about Shs75m) in restitution and spend a lifetime on supervised release as a registered sex offender after getting out of prison.<\/p>\n

In February, Tuininga pleaded guilty and was taken to jail pending sentencing. He faced up to 30 years in jail, according to reports at the time.<\/p>\n

Several US media outlets reported that the recommended sentence for Tuininga was seven to nine years.<\/p>\n

However, the judge gave him a 10-year sentence after hearing testimony from the victim\u2019s caretaker and some of Tuininga\u2019s family members. Tuininga\u2019s lawyer had requested a sentence of five years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“I want to recognise the true bravery displayed by the Ugandan girl for speaking out when she was assaulted by a trusted person of power from another country, courageously seeking justice across continents,\u201d US Attorney Peter D. Leary is quoted in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Law enforcement, both abroad and here at home, took on a challenging international case,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Mr Tuininga was reported by a fellow US citizen working at the same church who contacted the US Embassy in Kampala that the now convict was having sex<\/a> with Ugandan girls as young as 14 years who were under the care of their church.<\/p>\n

The US Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security federal agents in Kampala opened an investigation into the allegations and subsequently identified the abused minor, who was then aged 14, in May 2019 when Tuininga had sex with her.<\/p>\n

Tuininga had already returned to his home in Georgia but the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, Child Exploitation Unit, Atlanta, continued with the investigations.<\/p>\n

\u201cEric Tuininga used his trusted position as a pastor to sexually assault a young Ugandan girl in his care, this was a challenging case, but law enforcement worked diligently to ensure that Tuininga did not escape justice for his crime overseas,\u201d said US Attorney Peter D. Lear.<\/p>\n

Mark Bube, general secretary of the denomination\u2019s committee of foreign missions, has said Tuininga\u2019s misconduct was reported by other Orthodox Presbyterian missionaries in Uganda and that he was removed from missionary work in 2019.<\/p>\n

Bube said Tuininga was later removed entirely from ministry and excommunicated from the church based in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Tuininga joined the church from a separate but affiliated denomination in Oregon. A website chronicling Tuininga\u2019s work in Uganda said he began working there in 2012 after working at Immanuel\u2019s Reformed Church in Salem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
