An American pastor has told a court in his native country that he raped orphaned boys in Malawi and knew he would get away with it.

The shameless pervert, Gerald Campbell, 66, raped eight orphans, including one who infected with HIV, at the Victory Christian Children’s Home in Malawi between 1997 and 2009.

According to Reuters, the rapist faces up to 10 years in jail after pleading guilty to one count of illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place.

The monster used his position as general manager of the orphan to lure his victims; he offered them access to better rooms within the orphanage and allowed them to use hot water at his house. He also lived with some of the victims for months in his house.

Campbell said he gave money and valuable things to two of his victims so that they should not disclose the sexual abuse. He told the court that he knew that no one will believe the children if they reported the sexual abuse.

One of his victims told investigators that he began living at the orphanage in 1999 after his parents died and Campbell raped him for over eight months, sometimes on a daily basis.

The monster was charged by a jury in 2015 after investigations by US authorities. After his plea of guilty, he is now awaiting sentencing.
