Three of the eleven counts he was indicted on were dropped before the proceedings formally started, but now the child molestation trial for controversial pastor Ken Adkins is underway.
Adkins was initially arrested in August 2016 for child molestation and aggravated child molestation. He turned himself in, and has been in the Glynn County, Georgia Jail since.
In November 2016, Adkins was formally indicted on a total of eleven charges, including child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes, aggravated child molestation, and influencing a witness. Just ahead of the formal start of the trial, two counts of child molestation and the count of influencing a witness were dropped.
A jury of eleven women and three men- including two alternates- has been seated for this trial.
