ALBANY (OR)
KATU
ALBANY, Ore. - A jury has found a 36-year-old Albany pastor guilty of two counts of first-degree sexual abuse on his daughter.
Jurors deliberated for a day-and-a-half in the trial of Timothy Sean Sullivan, pastor of the Liberty Christian Center.
The victim, now 12, is Sullivan's daughter from an earlier relationship.
Sullivan's wife, in-laws, and supporters from his church were with Sullivan throughout his six-day trial.
Upon the reading of the verdict, Sullivan removed his glasses, slumped in his chair, and wept. Behind him in the benches, so did his family.
