Everything had been worked out.
The former pastor had already
admitted to sexually abusing one of his teenage congregants. He had
agreed to serve 10 years in prison. He said nothing as he waited
Thursday for a judge to pronounce the sentence.
But the girl's mother couldn't stay silent.
"He used God as a weapon," she told the judge. "Fear as a weapon. Her own beliefs as a weapon."
When the sexual encounters started, Samuel Sutter was a 25-year-old married pastor at Openwater Church in Odessa.
The girl was 15.
