A former Wichita Falls, Texas, pastor was sentenced to 30 years last week for sexually assaulting two preteen girls.
Although Paul Andrew Coleman, 69, was scheduled for trial on July 14, the Pentecostal pastor pleaded guilty on July 11 to three less serious charges against him. They included two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child/sexual conduct, according to KFDX-TV in Wichita Falls.
As part of the plea agreement, the most serious charge, that of continuous sexual abuse of a child, was dismissed.
