It happens month after month here on Deep Thoughts. So often in fact that I grow tired of retelling the stories. I am no longer surprised by what these men do, but I am always horrified.
Pastor Timothy Ryan Jamison pleaded guilty to charges that he molested a 4-year-old boy.
Upon entry of the plea, Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge John Freeland sentenced Jamison to three years and eight months in state prison.
"He basically pled guilty to everything and threw himself on the mercy of this court," said Deputy District Attorney Annette Rees, who prosecuted the case. "This was as good as it would get for Jamison."
It is rare that a pastor admits his guilt. Perhaps he will survive his sentence in prison and be released as a GPS tagged pedophile to serve in some unsuspecting Baptist church?
