CHILD MOLESTATION: IT'S NOT
JUST FOR CATHOLICS ANYMORE

From the AP via the Houston Chronicle:

A former pastor has been indicted on charges alleging that he sexually abused six boys over a 14-year period, many inside Westside Victory Baptist Church.

The Rev. Larry Nuell Neathery, 55, has been jailed since he surrendered three weeks ago. He was indicted Friday.

Neathery, who resigned as Westside Victory's pastor in December, is accused of sexual misconduct from 1990 until last year.

Defense attorney Tiffany Lewis said Monday that Neathery "emphatically denies each and every allegation."

Hmmm. Catholic priests can plead insanity born of celibacy. What's the Protestant excuse?
