The pastor is said to have been found in bed with a woman believed to be his church member. The man claiming to be the woman’s husband rained blows on her as shocked residents watched.

The pastor claimed the woman wanted added prayers because she was feeling unwell tricked him, but one thing lead to another.

Exactly. There's nothing devious going on. The pastor friend was praying with her and the kneeling position somehow became a reclining position. The pants-down thing however takes a bit of explaining. Perhaps that's how they pray in Nairobi.

Actually there is more to this story, as the woman was smiling. With it I think this video is deceptive.

Further look into it confirmed this: Press Complaints Commission finds newspaper libeled priest in sex sting
August 12, 2015
The Nairobian and KTN staged fake honeytrap sting to blackmail Anglican minister


The Kenyan Press Complaints Commission has ordered a tabloid newspaper, The Nairobian, and the Kenya Television Network (KTN) to apologize for defaming an Anglican minister by broadcasting and publishing stories false stories that he had engaged in an adulterous tryst with a woman in a hotel room.

On 3 October 2014 the BBC published a report stating the Rev. Charles Elijah Githinji had been caught on camera in the act of adultery. The encounter was: “broadcast on a news programme in Kenya, and appears to show Anglican pastor Charles Githinji half dressed in a hotel room with a pretty young woman. Another man, claiming to be the woman’s husband, bursts into the room with a television crew in tow. The sheepish pastor scrambles for his clothes, but not before being quizzed by the people behind the camera.”

The BBC report noted Mr. Githinji had claimed he had been entrapped, but noted a new genre of news reporting had arisen in Kenya of filming prominent men caught in the act of adultery. However, a review of the footage by the Press Complaints Commission and investigation of the incident, found Mr. Githinji had been defamed.

He had been the target of a sting by the news teams, who had fabricated the incident. The Press Complaints Commission reported Mr. Githinji had been called up to the hotel room on 25 September 2014 to offer pastoral assistance to a distraught woman. While chatting with the woman a gang burst into the room and proceeded to seize him and strip him of his pants and shirt. A man claiming to be the woman’s husband, then denounced the priest as he dressed, accusing him of adultery. This scene was recorded on camera by journalists from The Nairobian and KTN, who then demanded money to destroy the film. Mr. Githinji paid the blackmailers Sh20,000, but they demanded more money, and threatened to air the film if he did not pay up.

The Star reported Mr. Githinji said he went to his bishop for advice and was told not to pay the journalists but to report them to the authorities. The Press Complaint Commission said that while it had not the authority to order the newspaper and television station to pay damages, it recommended Mr. Githinji discuss compensation with the proprietors of the Standard Group, the publishers of The Nairobian and KTN.https://anglican.ink/2015/08/12/pres...-in-sex-sting/

With this incident I don't think a male pastor should be in a room alone with a woman that is not his wife or close relative.

I agree. Apart from the man being a pastor, one must ask what this has to do with either religion or spirituality?

The pastor was probably saying to his friend, "Don't you think you're carrying this 'Love thy neighbor' thing a little too far? The Bible doesn't say 'Love thy neighbor and his wife.' "

For once we agree...to an extent.

I'm concerned if there's a pattern and when christians appear to be excusing it.
