Richard Brown III, whose address is listed on court documents as 1146 Hamilton St., will go to trial Jan. 28. He is charged with four counts of endangering children and two counts of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. If convicted, he could face a combined maximum punishment of 28 years in prison.Mr. Brown, 34, is accused of abusing two brothers, now ages 16 and 18, whom he met as a youth pastor at Friendship Baptist Church, 5301 Nebraska Ave. According to the prosecutor’s office, two of the counts of child endangering involve coercing the boys into posing for inappropriate photographs and two of the counts involve corporal punishment.
Mr. Brown, who at one point in 2007 was the endorsed Democrat for the school board, withdrew his candidacy prior to the election.
Jeez, you'd think dude never saw NBC's To Catch a Youth Pastor. Stone Phillips had to be hospitalized for dehydration and exhaustion. Tragic.
Churches should start hiring only eunuchs as youth pastors, it seems.
especially when people publish their home addresses, jeez that is such a michelle malkin move
If you have a Gmail account, set up several google alerts for terms like "pastor", "preacher", "priest", etc. and the terms "arrested", "convicted", and "sentenced" and you will quickly come to the conclusion that the nationwide (and worldwide) scope of this problem is being greatly underreported by local news media outlets until such cases pop-up locally...
