Fugitive pastor arrested in Texas

Jack Clark is a pastor convicted of sodomy by force and statutory rape. His victim was a 12-year-old girl from his own congregation. Clark skipped bail and has been on the run since 1997.

Clark is a classic pedophile. He cultivated his relationship with a helpless 12-year-old girl, and then used her for his pleasure. Now Jack Clark is going to jail for a very long time.

Investigators say Jack began earning the girl's trust by allowing her to watch movies -- something strictly forbidden by the church -- after his wife went to sleep. Gradually, cops believe Clark began touching the young girl inappropriately, and his actions eventually escalated.

This is my first America's Most Wanted case. I'm going to include them in my newsreader for now on. They are a good source of information on criminal activity. And they do not forget.
