KYOTO — A former clergyman of a church in Kawata, Kyoto Prefecture, was sentenced to 20 years in prison Tuesday for sexually abusing seven girls in his congregation repeatedly between 2001 and 2004.

According to the ruling, Tamotsu Kin, 62, who headed the Central Church of the Holy God, sexually abused the girls in his office on 22 occasions between March 2001 and September 2004, telling them they would languish perpetually in hell if they resisted.
