ARLINGTON – A prominent pastor indicted on charges of sexually assaulting three women said Friday that he was innocent and asked the public to pray for his family – and those of his accusers.
Speaking publicly for the first time since his arrest and indictment last week, and flanked by more than a dozen church members, including his wife, Renee, Mr. Hornbuckle said he's looking forward to proving his case to doubters.
"Our day in court will come," he said. "I have confidence in our legal system, and I have confidence in my legal counsel. My innocence will be proven."
