He blamed her for ruining not only his career as a church pastor, but also his marriage due to her “lies” about him.

He told her to phone the police and say: “Nothing inappropriate happened between us. You were mistaken and I am innocent.”

But Yolande just laughed at him, and told him: “You are trying to manipulate me AGAIN.”

Pastor Clayton said: “All this trial will do is make things worse.”

Yolande replied that “it can’t be worse than this. Better you had killed me.”

She then proceeded to call him a “coward” and demanded he admit what he did.
