Asheville, N.C., music minister ordered to prison

What a slime-ball! Is it a requirement for Christians graduating from Seminary to be skilled in deviant sexual behavior, with a specialization in children? It must be.

I suppose there are greater requirements these days for elite members of the religions they represent. Muslims for instance, must be skilled in making bombs. Scientologists must excel in swindling people out of their earthly possessions. Mormon men must specialize in psychology, so they can convince multiple women that it’s perfectly acceptable that they share him and co-exist with their female counterparts (in total harmony of course). The list of specialized “skill sets” for religious leaders is quite extensive, as is their corruption and depravity. Religious people never seize to amaze me… TGO

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A former music minister at an Asheville Roman Catholic church has been sentenced to 28 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to producing child pornography.

Thirty-one-year-old Paul Lawrence Berrell was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Asheville last week. Berrell was music minister at St. Eugene Catholic Church.

He originally was charged with nine counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, two counts of indecent liberties with a child and one count of statutory sex offense.

Authorities seized a camera, a computer and 11 compact discs of child erotica.

Police say they learned about the case when the parent of a female minor reported it in 2009. The court said there was a pattern of sexual abuse against children dating to 2002.
