The former pastor of a local church was sentenced Thursday to 30
years in state prison and a lifetime designation as a sexual offender by
Judge William F. Stone.
Larry Michael Thorne had been found guilty earlier this summer of
lewd and lascivious battery on a victim between the ages of 12 and 18
and sexual battery on a victim in the same age range, according to a
press release from the First Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office.
Thorne was arrested Nov. 14, 2014 after the victim reported that he’d
had sexual contact with her on numerous occasions. The abuse started
when she was 14 and ended when she was 17, according to news accounts.
