Pastor Who Celebrated Orlando Massacre Gets 35 Years For Child Molestation

April 26, 2017 by Michael Stone 55 Comments

Anti-gay pastor who claimed Orlando massacre victims got “what they deserve” will probably spend the rest of his life in prison.

Pastor Ken Adkins was sentenced to life for aggravated child molestation earlier this week. Adkins will be eligible for parole after 35 years, but by that time he will be over 90 years old, and more than likely dead. If he does manage to live long enough to be released, he will spend the remainder of his life on probation.

Adkins, who had congregations in Atlanta, Jacksonville, and Brunswick, Georgia, was arrested late last summer on eight charges of child molestation and aggravated child molestation.

Earlier this month, a jury found Pastor Adkins guilty on all charges.

child molesters do not do well in the prison system once the other inmates find out why they are there. Here's hoping.

Wonder how he'll be received by the other inmates, sounds like he's habitually inflammatory with his conservative, hateful preachiness.
