The incidents happened over several months at his prayer house, where his wife also runs daily tuition classes attended by neighborhood kids.
Victims were threatened to not speak about the abuse
Police say Victor used the excuse of helping with tuition classes to lure the girls.

Police are now investigating based on statements from the victims.
