A northern Ohio church pastor arrested in an internet sex sting has faced a judge over his charges.
Roy Burton, a pastor from Milford Center near Marysville, Ohio, has been in Greene County several times over the past few months, mostly for court appearances stemming from his November arrest.
Burton was charged with importuning and attempted unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
Wednesday morning, he waived his right to a trial, pleading no contest. A common decision in Greene County, where more than a hundred similar internet arrests have been made.
"I think the message is they know the work of the detectives builds a solid case and they don't have any wiggle room to hide. Pretty much they are very strong cases and hard to put a defense on," said Assistant Greene County Prosecutor Adolfo Tornichio.
Burton is scheduled to be sentenced on April 4.

I pray that god will forgive the detectives for setting this man of god up, to look like he is a mean man. And will be praying for my pastor that he will go through this with the Lords help and I will be praying for his family also....typical brainwashed fundy responce...so sad.
Your loyalty to your friend is touching, but you give the mythical Satan too much credit. Preachers don't need him to make them look bad. Far too many of them do it very well for themselves.
I think there is nothing more disgusting than a preacher or a Christian vowing and pledging to represent truth and honor in the name of a god and then get caught with their pants down or their finger caught in a Childs genitals, and then the members make Satanist excuses and apologize for the preacher and then whip out the pray ye always and jebus will make everything alright.
I know you agree. G-Day Bill
You got me also. I was pissed at first because I'm a retired cop and I know that the detectives who "nailed" Bro. Roy don't need to come up with phony charges; these perverts are so easy to catch.
My angry response to you was going to be...It is not me, it is the Christ who lives within me.
Good job!

I hope he becomes someone's bitch while in prison. :0)

You sound like a "true christian".
No wonder we all left christianity!
But I must advise, I'm an adult. Not interested any more, huh?
If that pervert piece of shit is your father, you have bigger problems than this website.
I have no problem judging at all. Just like I'm sure Pastor Roy has never had a problem sitting on his altar judging the "sinners" around him.
MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN (Well, part of that, anyway). You have been weighed on the scales and found deficient. You have lost your power over the people and will no longer be trusted. Shame. Shame.
You should just hang yourself.
Oh, well, I am sure it was in gods' omniscient plan to try this preachers' faith, using the almighty, evil Internet, or more likely, a detective waiting for some nut to answer their Internet ad.
:D
