A Queens pastor was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in prison for raping two girls in the basement of his church, Nydailynews reports.

Reuben Chizor’s victims were 12- and 14-year-old sisters and members of his Hope Restoration Ministries congregation in Queens Village. “The defendant took advantage of his position as a man of the cloth and the trust placed in him by his followers to satisfy his depraved desires. .
Through manipulation and conniving control, he sexually abused his two young victims for nearly two years,” Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said. .
“What the defendant forced his victims to endure was horrendous — and as punishment he now will be spending a lengthy term behind bars.” Trial testimony last month revealed that on July 27, 2011, Chizor took the 14-year-old victim to the church basement, where he lived, and raped her. .
On Aug. 22, 2011, he raped the 12-year-old. Chizor, 56, continued abusing one or both of the girls through May 2013, Brown said. .
In July 2015, the girls confided in each other they'd been raped by Chizor, and police were notified.
