A Lawton jury spends nearly two hours deliberating and finds a pastor not guilty of sexually abusing a 28-year-old. Bobby Glen Burrell, a pastor at One More Soul Outreach Ministries was accused of sexually abusing a 16-year-old boy in July 2012.

In closing arguments the defense said Burrell did masturbate and watch pornography in the church, however by law that is not a crime. The defense says the 16-year-old boy laughed and giggled when he was interviewed by detectives and called him manipulative.

However, the prosecution states the boy masturbated and watched porn with Burrell, a lewd act. They also claimed that he lied to police about those acts.
