According to the arrest citation, King admitted that he “engaged in a sexual relationship with a minor over the course of the last year and a half.” The victim was 15 years old, and he acknowledged having “sexual intercourse in the minor’s home, at his residence, and at the church where he was a former pastor.” According to Lex18:

“King resigned from his position at the church after being confronted by other church staff regarding the allegations. The citation also states that King told the investigator that he would call and message the minor using “Snapchat and WhatsApp” to arrange the meetups as well as “receive sexually explicit images of the minor.”

He’s been charged with:

3 First-degree sodomy

4 Third-degree rape

5 Third-degree sodomy

6 First-degree sexual abuse

It’s gotten to the point, where the very second I read the phrase: “Youth Pastor” in a news article, I already know exactly where it’s going...

First-degree sodomy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_laws_in_the_United_States

Current status of state statutes regarding sodomy and bestiality. All sodomy statues have been invalidated (ruled unconstitutional) by state courts or Lawrence v. Texas, but 12 have not been repealed by their state legislatures.
No statute banning sodomy
Statute bans bestiality
Statute bans same-sex sodomy
Statute bans sodomy

references the map

interesting history. most states don’t have this?

But you are correct in your statement.

I just got done watching the video from the news station.

It was a teen girl after all.

It said some other things he did to her. He was one sick dude.

Something tells me that is the root of all our problems.

I am saddened beyond sadness to read of these crimes over and over.

But there is one point of light here. I Peter 4:17: “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?”

When God decides it’s time to clean out a society, He begins with the church, His people in His house, like Jesus cleansing His Father’s house of the moneychangers. He means to separate the sheep from the goats among those who bear His name, so that the church can be the light that shines when He then clears the sinfulness from the secular Satanic society.

So when my friend the agnostic Kentucky woman (no reference to Neil Diamond) who lives near Lexington throws this megasinful megapastor in my face, I can tell her that she can’t possibly be as happy as I am that he was caught, because when the church gets cleansed, the rest of society is going to get megalysoled, and there will be an awakening as the world has not seen for a very long time. I hope I live to see it here, but if I don’t I will see it from where the Lord is preparing for me.

During an interview with King, investigators said he admitted to picking her up from her home in Fayette County and driving up the road to have sex in his car. King also reportedly told the police he had sex with her in her home, his home, and at LexCity Church, where, according to the attorney general’s office, he used to be a pastor.

“when it does not give a gender we can all guess why.”

The picture of him makes it quite clear.
