An anti-gay pastor who said people massacred at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando “got what they deserved” last year has been convicted on eight charges related to child molestation.

The Florida Times Union reports that a jury this week found 57-year-old pastor Kenneth Adkins guilty of child molestation due to a relationship he had with an underage boy and an underage girl who attended his church seven years ago.

In the case, prosecutors claimed that Adkins had methodically groomed two teenagers to have sexual intercourse with him when they were just 15 years old. The pastor’s male accuser said he wanted to come forward so that the pastor would never again be able to similarly take advantage of young teenagers. The jury came back with a guilty verdict against Adkins after only one hour of deliberation. He is due to be sentenced on April 25th.

Adkins drew national condemnation last year when he sent out a message on social media attacking the victims of Omar Mateen’s shooting rampage at the Pulse nightclub.

1. Because of course he was.

[Orrex]

12. That

[Adrahil]

16. /thread NT

[BobTheSubgenius]

28. That was my response exactly.

[QC]

2. Never fails. n/t

[jrthin]

9. YEP. NEVER. EVER. FAILS. NT

[teezy]

3. OF FUCKING COURSE

The moral compasses of society, imposing their dogma on everyone, are worse than anyone they believe are corrupting the world.

[Alice11111]

20. Fits the profile perfectly.

I've done research in this area, but I'm sure it's obvious to many, as it happens all of the time.

[Aristus]

4. Man, they may as well be wearing signs, shouldn't they?

Anyone that rabidly and vocally anti-gay has more skeletons in his closet than an anatomist with OCD.

[smirkymonkey]

7. It's almost always the case, isn't it?

Basically, I find it's anyone who is overly concerned and judgmental about what other people do in the privacy of their bedrooms is suspect.

[Hortensis]

15. If not almost always, certainly remarkably common.

Not just these sorts with sexual depravity either.

Scratch a large majority of political extremists and you'll find something very wrong. Profound dishonesty about issues is almost a given, ruthless willingness to set aside claimed principles and utter contempt for the beliefs of others the same.

Of course, that's extremist in personality, not position. Lots of mainstreamers hold positions that are considered extreme, i.e., outside the mainstream box, but don't react like extremists.

19. "more skeletons in his closet than an anatomist with OCD."

Love it!

[greymattermom]

22. That would be me

but I had brains in the closet. Just at work, though.

[volstork]

33. I have uteri in mine.

Maybe some ovaries rattling around as well...

[safeinOhio]

5. I hope he gets the help he needs in prison and

he needs lots of help. So, that means he needs lots of prison.

[NewRedDawn]

40. Maybe he can attend Marcus Bachmann's

therapy conversion class.

[Flaleftist]

6. I don't believe it.

[Scalded Nun]

8. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

On the positive side, he should see how well things work when 'grooming' isn't necessary.

[secondwind]

10. Bubba and his pals will be "grooming" him for other stuff... n/t

[3catwoman3]

11. Is he going to get...

...what he deserves?

[Orrex]

13. Well, he was only 50 when it happened

Chalk it up to youthful indiscretion?


I'll bet that this sick asshole has had a lot to say about the "dangers" of allowing trans people into their gender-appropriate bathrooms, too.

[nycbos]

14. I am SHOCKED SHOCKED to find gambling going on here.

[muntrv]

17. I just love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning!

[volstork]

18. Wow! UNBELIEVABLE!

[bullwinkle428]

21. I love when karma bares its teeth!

K&R.

[longship]

23. How could it be otherwise?

It's a predictive situation.

[skypilot]

24. Every time I read ANOTHER...

...report like this I can't help but hear the clock ticking down on Rick Santorum. It's only a matter of time.

[Initech]

26. I keep thinking Steve Bannon has to be guilty of something.

He just looks like the kind of guy who has committed multiple forms of abuse.

[teezy]

27. I second that. n/t

[skypilot]

37. Yes.

He is the very picture of dissoluteness.

[IronLionZion]

31. And maybe Mike Pence

those two should have dinner together without any women around to tempt them

[NewRedDawn]

41. Psycho Pence

has his Mother perversions. Rumor has it that he was gay in youth & had Christian conversion like ole Dancin Marcus Bachmann administers.

[Initech]

25. One day all of these assholes will get caught. And then we will really be free.

[Baconator]

29. What a stereotype...

Stand by for the "I talked it over with Jesus and he gave me a pass on this one"

[rivegauche]

30. Normally I laugh and laugh, when hypocritical right-wing scumbags

are revealed for what they really are. But in this case he violated 2 kids, so I hope he gets what's coming to him in prison. What a vile, evil piece of shit.

[William769]

32. Why does this not surprize me.

[SCantiGOP]

34. Hey monster:

Enjoy your new prison ministry.

[enid602]

35. pay off

Guess he didn't have the money to pay off his accusers, unlike tRump.

[brer cat]

36. That's a mighty fine piece of karma there. nt

[TheFrenchRazor]

38. i'm shocked... not. nt

[UpInArms]

39. this guy is a piece of flotsam floating in a pond of shit

eom

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

42. How 'bout that?

[BigDemVoter]

43. What a fucking piece of slimy, infectious SHIT.
