Admits to sex crimes against 15-year-old church member PASCAGOULA MS — Paul Valentine, former youth minister at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Ocean Springs, pleaded guilty Monday to sex crimes against a 15-year-old church member in 2005. Senior Circuit Judge Kathy King Jackson ordered Valentine to spend the next 10 years behind bars and even more should he violate any conditions of his sentencing on three different felony offenses. "I have two children who just graduated from high school and I know how hard it is to keep your children safe," Jackson told Valentine on Monday. "I can't think of anything worse that you could've done. I sit up here sometimes and sometimes I feel bad about sending people to prison - sometimes but not that often." Jackson had no qualms about sentencing Valentine shortly after his victim and her father addressed the court Monday. The judge told Valentine that she'd make sure that he'd never again have any conta...

MIAMI --A reverend who introduced Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist during a breakfast with other pastors Monday said the Lord came to him in a dream two years ago and told him Crist would be the state's next governor. The Rev. O'Neal Dozier said that before the dream he did not know Crist, nor had Crist made known his plans to run for governor. "The Lord Jesus spoke to me and he said 'There's something I want you to know,'" said Dozier, pastor of the Worldwide Christian Center in Pompano Beach. "'Charlie Crist will be the next governor of the state of Florida.'" Since then, Dozier has spent time with Crist and talked with him at length about policy. He told the group that Crist would be uncompromising in his Christian faith. "I introduce to you, as the Lord Jesus has said, the next governor of the state of Florida, Charlie Crist," Dozier said. Crist's first words were, "Well, as they say, the praise doe...

A former Jacksonville FLA pastor has been charged with molesting his young parishioners several decades ago. Now, police believe more victims could be out there. Dr. Robert Gray , founder of Trinity Christian Academy , remains in jail without bond after investigators say he spent decades keeping a dirty little secret. "Right now, he is being charged with two counts of capital sexual battery and there are two different victims," says Lt. Annie Smith with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office sex crimes unit. So far, investigators say 15 women who attended his church or school have come forward claiming Dr. Gray molested them when they were children. Sources close to the case say the alleged victims broke their silence after learning that Gray was returning to Jacksonville after serving as a missionary in Germany. Because the allegations date back to 1969, there's no physical evidence against Gray and authorities are building their case based solely on the statements of more th...

A pair of fish which appear to bear the words Allah and Mohammed were hailed as a "message from God." The Oscar fish were spotted in a pet shop in Speke, Liverpool, by 23-year-old Ali Al-Waqedi. He noticed that the markings on one fish appeared to spell Allah, the Islamic term for God, in Arabic. He then saw that another fish in the same tank appeared to bear the word Mohammed, the name of the last Islamic prophet, also in Arabic. Mr Al-Waqedi said: "We only went into the shop because my kids wanted to have a look at the animals. We weren't planning to buy anything. "We started to have a look at the Oscar fish because they had such an unusual colour. "Then I saw that one of them had the word Allah. It was so clear, and it made me very happy. "Then we saw that another one had the word Mohammed, and that was even better. To see the Allah fish was exciting, but to have the Allah and Mohammed fish in the same tank was unbelievable.

Melton, were sentenced to spend slightly more than three months is prison followed by 36 months probation. Circuit Judge Sibley Reynolds delivered the sentence yesterday morning after making sure the victims fully understood that what was about to be delivered was light considering the charges.

Brian Bravo, 46, former pastor of Soverent Grace Baptist Church near Springfield, Louisiana, was released April 24 after posting $75,000 bail. “I’m not guilty of the charge.
