Paul Chambers🚧Northern Kentucky ( #Cincinnati, #Ohio suburbs) Florence Baptist Temple church, in Burlington, Kentucky, church music director & resident artist of the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, Michael Howard, gets fourth sentence for sexually abusing a teen in multiple counties
Kenton County Circuit Court Judge Kathleen Lape accepted a plea agreement in which Howard pleaded guilty to all six counts against him there, including four counts of sodomy and two counts of sexual abuse, in exchange for a 15-year sentence behind bars.
A judge accepted a plea agreement in Boone County, KY, sentencing Howard to 15 years in exchange for his pleading guilty to 28 counts of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of third-degree sodomy in that county.
In two other counties, Owen and Carroll County, judges also handed down 15-year sentences in line with offers deemed "in the best interest" of the victim.
Because of the agreement, Howard's sentences will run concurrently, resulting in a total of 15 years behind bars.
He will be eligible for parole after serving 85% of his sentence, meaning he could be released from state prison in 12.5 years. #Kentucky
