	Former Pastor in Calloway County Gets 4 More Years for New Sexual Abuse Conviction The Republic December 19, 2011 http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/9a021c46b18f48f1bec08368081f677e/KY--Pastor-Sexual-Abuse/ A former pastor in western Kentucky who was convicted of sexually abusing a minor under 12 will serve more prison time because of new sexual abuse charges. Three new charges were brought against 50-year-old Robert Meredith last week in Calloway County. Meredith, former pastor at Green Plain Church of Christ in Hazel, was first charged in August for allegedly abusing a child during a sleep-over. The Ledger & Times reported that last week he reached a plea deal with prosecutors, who combined the three new charges into one count of first-degree sexual abuse (http://bit.ly/v7YBbB). The new conviction tacks on four years to the eight-year sentence Meredith is already serving. In court last week, Meredith apologized and requested to be transported immediately to prison so he could begin sex offender treatment.
