Former North Carolina Pastor Sentenced in Sex Abuse Case
A former pastor in North Carolina has been sentenced to 30 days in jail after admitting to sexually abusing a minor in 2002.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports 49-year-old Eric Dave Jones of Bryson City pleaded guilty in Haywood County Superior Court to indecent liberties with a child.

The judgment said Jones began abusing the child when the victim was 9 years old.
I know: I don’t know all the facts, extenuating circumstances, et cetera, et cetera. But 30-days for molesting a 9-year old? Seriously? In even an environment where Holy Men are demiroyalty, that seems indefensibly lenient to me.
