Brunswick pastor found guilty of child molestation, other charges 10 April 2017
BRUNSWICK, Ga. - After the six-day trial of a Brunswick pastor on sexual molestation charges, a Glynn County jury deliberated for less than an hour Monday before finding Ken Atkins guilty of all charges.
Adkins showed little reaction as the judge read the verdicts. He was convicted of two counts of aggravated child molestation, five counts of child molestation and one count of enticing a child.
His sentencing is scheduled for April 25 and he faces up to life in prison on the charges.
"I know he was back there praying," said Adkins' attorney, Kevin Gough. "We were disappointed with the verdict, but we respect it. It's part of our jury system, but we will be filing a notice of appeal, obviously."
