	Meredith Enters Plea in Sexual Abuse Case Murray Ledger & Times September 13, 2011 http://murrayledger.com/news/local/meredith-enters-plea-in-sexual-abuse-case/article_52e08e1a-de13-11e0-a1d0-001cc4c002e0.html The pastor of a Calloway County church entered a plea of guilty to first-degree sexual abuse in Calloway County Circuit Court Monday morning under terms of a plea agreement with Commonwealth’s Attorney Mark Blankenship. Robert Meredith, 50, of Murray-Paris Road, Hazel, will be sentenced to eight years in prison, it was reported. As part of the agreement, Meredith must also register as a sex offender, participate in a sex offender treatment program and have no contact with the juvenile victim or the victim’s family. He is scheduled for formal sentencing on Friday, Oct. 14, in Calloway Circuit Court following a pre-sentencing investigation and a sex offender evaluation. Meredith, pastor of Green Plains Church of Christ on Murray-Paris Road, had been charged with first-degree sexual abuse of a child under 12 years of age. He was arrested by Kentucky State Police in August following investigation of a complaint from the parents of the juvenile victim who told police the abuse allegedly took place at a childrens’ sleepover at a private residence where other adults and children were present. First-degree sexual abuse is a Class C felony carrying a possible 5-10 years in prison.
