Ex-Jehovah’s Witness minister pleads guilty to charge of molesting teenage Phoenix boy

What is it with homosexuals and religion? We know the Catholic Church is full of gay priests and lesbian nuns, but the thinking (which I’ve never bought into) is that the reason why the Catholic Church is full of homosexuals is because of the church’s position on marriage.

Anyway, who cares. The point is that a good many of the people who pretend to be so righteous are big-time scum. TGO

PHOENIX (AP) — A former Jehovah’s Witness elder accused of molesting a Phoenix teenage boy 30 years ago has pleaded guilty in the case.

Maricopa County prosecutors said Tuesday that David Clarke Nelson pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual conduct with a minor.

The 63-year-old Clarke will be sentenced April 7.

Nelson was arrested last November by Phoenix police after the victim reported the assaults, which occurred between September and November 1980.

Nelson acknowledged his involvement and the ex-church elder apologized in a phone call to the victim, who was then 14 and now is a married adult, according to police.

Nelson has retired from the church.
