Convicted pastor seeks appeal

James Cornell Clark was convicted of keeping a Kenyan sex slave at his Lubbuck Texas home. I posted his story back in 2007. Now he is appealing his conviction in order to reduce his prison sentence.  Clark is truly a stain. 

Several months after they met, Clark called the woman and arranged for her to travel to Texas and enroll at South Plains College in Levelland, where she lived in a dorm room. Prosecutors said Clark frequently called or e-mailed her, demanding sex and threatening to have her deported if she refused to comply.

"He expended all this money on her, so it was time for her to give back," Simonton said.

The woman confided in a career counselor, who reported the allegations to a college official. After Clark was arrested in April 2006, investigators searched his computer and found a collage of photos of him posing with several other African women.

He expended all this money on her, so it was time for her to give back.” Clark was a pastor. How can this statement even be uttered? It is hypocrisy of the highest order. What a stain.
