    (WTNH) - A minister in Norwalk is accused of raping a child.

    The Reverend Phillip Joubert was arrested in New York.

    He's charged with raping his 13-year old daughter.

    It allegedly happened last summer at his apartment in Queens.

    Joubert is the pastor of the New Light Missionary Baptist Church in Norwalk.

    The congregation and community seem to be in full support of him.

    "We will move forward under the good Lord and everything will be fine," said one parishioner.

    Joubert is charged with rape, incest and endangering the welfare of a child. He sits in a facility on Rikers Island awaiting his hearing in a NYC court on December 21st.
