Jeffrey Dale Williams, the former pastor of The Church of Corinth, was sentenced Wednesday in a Denton County courtroom to five years deferred probation and fined $1,000 after pleading guilty to causing injury to a child.

He pleaded guilty after a plea agreement reduced the original charge of solicitation of a minor, stemming from an incident two years ago.

Williams heard his sentence from 211th District Court Judge Brody Shanklin.

Lauri Frohbieter, chief of the Child Abuse Unit of the Denton County District Attorney’s Office, presented the case, where the original indictment was amended for the plea.
