Local pastor Ken Adkins sentenced to 35 years for child molestation

Controversial Brunswick pastor Ken Adkins was sentenced to 35 years in prison Tuesday for child molestation.

Adkins, 57, will serve life on probation, upon his release.

Earlier this month, Adkins was found guilty on all eight counts, including aggravated child molestation, child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes, and more.

Prosecutors said that Adkins watched two 15-year-olds have sex and that he engaged in sexual acts with one of the teens.

Adkins was initially arrested in August 2016. He turned himself in, and has been in the Glynn County, Georgia Jail since.
