Yes, it's time for our weekly installment of guess which Baptist pastor is secretly a pedophile. This week's winner is Kevin Ogle, the former senior pastor of Northgate Colonial Baptist Church in Camden. Pastor Ogle had a thing for young girls. He sent explicit pictures of himself masturbating to a girl he believed to be 14. Now he's going to jail for 5 years, with 15 years special probation. As a convicted pedophile, he faces some hard time in prison and an even harder time finding employment once he is released.
Ogle plead guilty to 15 counts of computer pornography and child exploitation. It may not be his first offense:
“We got really lucky on this one,” Westbrooks said. “And we believe he has probably been doing this for some time. In one of the conversations he had with us over the Internet, he disclosed that he had been a youth pastor at a church some time back and had been in love with a 12-year-old girl. He never would say why, but he did confess that he had to leave that church.”
Ogle faced 210 years in prison before accepting a plea agreement. When sentenced, he was alone. It is a feeling he should get used to.
