Pastor Sentenced for Spiritual Betrayal | Orlando News

A Florida pastor convicted of drugging and assaulting a woman seeking spiritual counsel received a 30-year prison sentence — the same for each of two counts, served concurrently. The victim, speaking through a Creole interpreter, described lasting trauma that disrupted her work and daily life. The pastor denied all charges, claiming the victim was hysterical and citing WhatsApp messages he believed exonerated him — but the judge rejected his appeals. Prosecutors stressed this verdict delivers justice and deters future abuse, acknowledging the victim’s healing will be long and painful despite the sentence.
