Pastor accused of rape under guise of casting out lesbian demon.

A Fort Worth pastor has been indicted for allegedly raping a church member at his house last year under the guise of casting out demons.

Leonard Ray Owens is free on $25,000 bail and is now awaiting trial on a charge of second-degree felony sexual assault. If convicted, he could be sentenced to two to 20 years in prison.

The 63-year-old pastor of the Prayer House of Faith was arrested in November.

Police began investigating him last year after a 22-year-old woman reported that Owens raped her twice at his Fort Worth home. The woman told police that she went to Owens' home for counseling after a miscarriage in July.

Police say Owens told the woman that a sex spirit and lesbian demon were inside her and needed to be cast out. He then asked her to lie on the floor and began yelling at her as though she were a demon, then held her down and raped her.

Owens denies having sex contact with the woman.
