OKLAHOMA
CITY (AP) - Oklahoma County courts have given
a seven-year
suspended sentence to a former Del City minister
who
pleaded guilty to molesting young girls in his congregation.
The Rev. Roy E. Jones, 56, also must serve 200 hours of
community service, pay $2,000 into the state victims'
compensation
fund and repay a $10,000 settlement Jones won
in a lawsuit
alleging police were harassing him in the
molestation investigation.
In 1986, Jones molested several
young girls in his congregation
at the First Baptist
Church of Del City, where he was pastor
for 35 years,
authorities said.
He pleaded guilty late Thursday to two
counts of taking
indecent liberties with a minor and one
count of forcible
oral sodomy.
