Pastor gets prison after admitting to assault

WEST CHESTER, Pa. — A suburban Philadelphia pastor accused of sexually assaulting and impregnating a teenager has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to three to six years in prison after a judge rejected an earlier plea agreement as too lenient.

Thirty-five-year-old Jacob Malone, of Exton, was sentenced Friday after entering guilty pleas to institutional sex assault, corruption of minors and child endangerment. He also must register as a sex offender for 15 years.

Malone and prosecutors had reached an earlier plea deal that called for a two-year minimum jail term, but Judge Jacqueline Cody rejected that deal a month ago. was elected last November to Florida’s redrawn 27th district, a stretch of southeast MiamiDade County that is heavily Democratic. Hillary Clinton won it over Donald Trump by 20 percentage points, and RosLehtinen was able to win it by 10 percentage points.

The congresswoman explained her decision in a piece published by The Miami Herald on Sunday. She called it “a personal decision based on personal considerations.”

The Miami Herald reports 22-year-old Alex Direeno was being held Sunday without bond at the Manatee County Jail on charges of prostitution and possession of drug paraphernalia and on outstanding warrants.

Records show that the incident happened last week. An undercover detective told the woman he wanted oral sex and she agreed to do it for $25. As they briefly went back and forth on the price, she finally agreed to perform the act for $25 and chicken McNuggets.

Sirens wailed across the country at 8 p.m., prompting Israelis to stop in their tracks and stand silently with heads bowed for a minute to remember the dead.

It is one of the most somber dates on Israel’s calendar. Bereaved families visit cemeteries and attend ceremonies. Places of entertainment shut down and TV and radio stations air war stories and melancholy music.
