Youth minister arrested in TN sex sting gets chance to clear conviction

Knox County Criminal Court Judge Steve Sword put his personal doubts aside Tuesday and gave a disgraced former youth minister who pleaded guilty to soliciting an underage girl for sex the chance to clear his criminal record.

Jason Evan Kennedy was sentenced to 30 days in jail and six years of supervised probation, with eligibility for judicial diversion.

If he successfully completes that probationary term, he will have the opportunity to erase the felony conviction for solicitation of a minor for commercial sex from his record, and have his name removed from the state's sexual offender registry.
