Former Sequim pastor Steven Welty was found guilty of six counts of child rape, six counts of child molestation and six counts of incest…

....: umm, you'd send your kids to stay with him after having been molested by him too?
Jail house recorded call with mother of victim: "he admitted he has done "a lot of things that aren't good."
"I was loving her and it went too far," he said.
Welty told the victim's mother he has "never, ever gone outside of the family" and that he has prayed about what happened and stopped being a pastor because of it.
"I've expressed my love in a weird way," he said. "You know that."
