A now-former Baptist pastor was sentenced to well over a decade in a New Hampshire prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to charges related to child sexual abuse materials.

Stephen Bates, 48, pleaded guilty to one count of the manufacture of child sexual abuse images and 10 counts of possession of child sexual abuse images. He was arrested in March 2022 on one count of possession of such images. Over time, he was indicted on 12 separate counts and faced a combined 240 years in prison.

    Not a drag queen.

    (People, don’t stop with this. It’s cops and clergymen, 99% of the time. Still tons of standing legislation centered on drag queens, no legislation about cops and clergymen. Keep calling out when it’s not a drag queen.)

    Again a Baptist Pastor… it’s always the ones you most suspected.

      All of him, part of him, or all of him a part at a time?
