A High Court jury on Thursday acquitted a pastor accused of two counts of serious indecency involving a 25-year-old woman during a March 2023 massage session.
The woman, who said the pastor was her mentor, testified that he gave her $400 and took her to an apartment where he allegedly performed sexual acts without her consent.
Days later, she recorded him apologizing and offering to pay for therapy while asking her not to go to the police.
The pastor initially denied wrongdoing but later admitted to sexual activity, claiming it was consensual.
