Pastor sentenced to 5 years

In Idaho, pastor Steven Bicknell was sentenced to 3 to 5 years in prison for fondling a 9-year-old girl. The sentence was given after the judge rejected a plea bargain. The victims father said it best.

"We trusted the welfare of our daughter with him and felt beyond betrayed," the girl's mother said. "He took a part of her innocence and I realize no matter what happens here today that there's no way that's going to be restored to her."
