A former Corinth pastor that was charged in May of 2013 entered a plea bargain on Wednesday. Jeffrey Dale Williams, who was accused of attempted sexual performance of a minor, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of injury to a child. The charge was part of a plea bargain that offered the amendment to Williams’ indictment, five years probation and 200 hours of community service.

In the initial arrest which took place on May 1, 2013, Williams was accused of attempted sexual performance of a minor after the Corinth police department obtained at least five different recordings of Williams trying to persuade a girl to remove her clothing.
