David Waser might have once been a respected minister at the Second Church of Christ in Newark, might have been- although it's almost certain that he's not now, and wouldn't have been had his congregation members been aware of his out of church behaviors.
Now, I'm all for the 20 years for the child pornography, of course- I'd be happier with more, but I know that sometimes we have to be willing to take whatever sad plea that is made. What I am concerned about, and certainly raising an eyebrow over is that he admitted to molesting young girls over the last thirty years. Does the plea deal cover this? I really hope not.
NBC 4- The former minister at the Second Church of Christ in Newark pleaded guilty to the receipt of child pornography Wednesday.
As part of a plea deal, David Waser could face twenty years in prison, NBC 4 reported.
According to prosecutors, last June Waser paid $130 for several child pornography videos via the Internet. Authorities said Waser actually purchased the videos from a sting operation operated by the U.S. Postal Service.
Inspectors later searched Waser's home and allegedly found all of the purchased tapes, including one in the VCR.
Police said Waser admitted to wanting to watch the tapes, and said he admitting to fondling young girls during the past 30 years.
