A former pastor at a Pearl River County church is facing jail time
after pleading guilty to two sex crime charges in Hancock County.
The Sea Coast Echo
reports that David Matthew Thorne, 35, of Picayune, on Monday pleaded
guilty in Hancock County Circuit Court to one count of sexual battery
and one count of touching a child for lustful purposes. He will be
sentenced Sept. 25.
Thorne was arrested in
March 2016 for molesting a 15-year-old girl in a church van while he
was the youth pastor at Goodyear Baptist Church in Picayune.

Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
