Pastor admits impregnating teen, gets 3-6 year prison term
A suburban Philadelphia pastor accused of sexually assaulting and impregnating a teenager has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to three to six years in prison after a judge rejected an earlier plea agreement as too lenient.
Thirty-five-year-old Jacob Malone, of Exton, was sentenced Friday after entering guilty pleas to institutional sex assault, corruption of minors and child endangerment. He also must register as a sex offender for 15 years.
Malone and prosecutors had reached an earlier plea deal that called for a two-year minimum jail term, but Judge Jacqueline Cody rejected that deal a month ago.
Malone was working at Calvary Fellowship, a nondenominational church in Downingtown, when authorities say he began sexually assaulting the girl in the fall of 2014, when she was in her late teens. She gave birth a year ago to their daughter. She maintained he took advantage of her "mentally, physically, spiritually."
In court, Malone admitted he gave the girl alcohol but said the sexual encounters were consensual. He apologized, saying his "failures and weaknesses" had hurt her, her family and his family.
"She admired me and trusted me, and I betrayed that," he said.
The original charges against Malone included rape. His defense attorney Evan Kelly said in a statement that Malone "has always been adamant" he did not rape the teenager but has admitted to other crimes. "And for that he is embarrassed, ashamed and truly remorseful," Kelly said.
District Attorney Emily Provencher said the woman is pleased an additional year was added to Malone's minimum jail term.
Malone will get credit for the more than one year he has served since his arrest in January 2016.

‘Our daughter’s husband killed her for evil purpose’- Family cries out
The family of a Lagos teacher, Mrs. Titilayo Shodipo, who was allegedly killed by her husband, Omolaja, in the Ikorodu area of the state, have said the suspect might have killed her for a
an evil purpose.
Her mother, Maria Ahinaje, called on the police authorities and the state government to arrest the suspect and bring him to justice.
PUNCH Metro had reported that Omolaja, 40, and the late wife had been married for the past seven years and had four children together.
The relationship was said to have been fraught with disagreements and fights.
It was learnt that last Monday, the suspect allegedly beat up his wife and stabbed her to death after another disagreement at their home on Insurance Crescent, Logunlogun village, Igbo Olomu, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
Neighbours were said to have found the 39-year-old in a pool of blood, after which policemen from the Owutu division were invited.
The corpse was moved to the Ikorodu General Hospital mortuary, while the suspect was declared wanted.
The family of the deceased on Friday said that they had asked Titilayo to quit the relationship but she refused because of her children.
Her mother, Maria, alleged that Omolaja was a drunk and an absentee father, adding that they were the reasons for most of their disagreements.
She explained that when Titilayo was pregnant with her second child, Omolaja assaulted her.
Maria, who said their family hailed from Ipokia Local Government the Area of Ogun State, and not Benin Republic, said the deceased left Omolaja and started living with her then.
She said that the couple’s four children had been taken by the suspect’s elder brother, urging the government to take custody of the kids.
Titilayo’s father, Apostle Simeon Ahinaje, said although the family wanted justice for the deceased, it was not ready to pursue any case.
Attempts by PUNCH Metro to reach Omolaja on his mobile phone were futile, as the line was switched off.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, said investigations were ongoing into the case, adding that the command was still searching for the suspect
an evil purpose.

Her mother, Maria, alleged that Omolaja was a drunk and an absentee father, adding that they were the reasons for most of their disagreements.
She said, “My daughter endured seven years of hardship and pain. When they started their relationship, I told her not to marry him, but she said she loved him.
“When they got married, he started beating her on a regular basis. He drank a lot and had extra-marital affairs. He would buy little foodstuffs for the family and when the food is exhausted, my daughter and her four children would start begging for food on the street.
“Most times, I had to send them foodstuffs and send money into her account for them to survive.”
She explained that when Titilayo was pregnant with her second child, Omolaja assaulted her.
Maria, who said their family hailed from Ipokia Local Government the Area of Ogun State, and not Benin Republic, said the deceased left Omolaja and started living with her then.
She said, “One day, she said she wanted to visit her family clinic in Ikorodu. Her father said she should use our hospital in Ketu and even gave her N3,000, and she agreed.
“Before we knew it, she called her father and said she was not returning again because her in-laws had intervened and persuaded her to return to her husband.
“I stopped going to their house three years ago because my daughter told her husband bad things about me, saying I didn’t encourage their union. Because of that, the man started misbehaving towards me.
“He probably used my daughter for evil purpose before stabbing her to death.”
She said that the couple’s four children had been taken by the suspect’s elder brother, urging the government to take custody of the kids.
Titilayo’s father, Apostle Simeon Ahinaje, said although the family wanted justice for the deceased, it was not ready to pursue any case.
“We want government agencies to do their jobs and prosecute the suspect. The law should take its full course. They should find him and deal with him. However, we have decided not to pursue any case; we have handed over judgement to God as true Christians. Nothing will restore the life of our daughter,” he added.He described Omolaja as a “hoodlum” who did not deserve his daughter, adding that like the mother, he also warned against the union.
“But when our daughter insisted on marrying him, we had to let her have her way,” he said.
Attempts by PUNCH Metro to reach Omolaja on his mobile phone were futile, as the line was switched off.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, said investigations were ongoing into the case, adding that the command was still searching for the suspect

Osun to set up inquest over Adeleke’s sudden death
Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun has said the government would probe the cause of the sudden death of Senator Isiaka Adeleke,
According to the governor, the state government had planned a befitting state burial for the late politician but was scuttled by some person ” crying more than the bereaved” who unleashed terror on dignitaries, who came to honour the departed soul.
Adeleke, who was representing Osun West Senatorial District, died on April 23.
“The State Government of Osun, using the instrumentality of the law, is setting up an inquest to unravel the circumstances of this unfortunate and sad incident, in order to put the record straight on his death”, Aregbesola said in a statement by Mr Semiu Okanlawon, his media aide.
According to the governor, the state government had planned a befitting state burial for the late politician but was scuttled by some person ” crying more than the bereaved” who unleashed terror on dignitaries, who came to honour the departed soul.
“Senator Adeleke was a man of peace. He preached peace and lived it through his life.
“He left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because he could not stand violence.
“This was after he was beaten up by some leaders of the PDP during a meeting in a hotel in Osogbo.
“It is a profound irony and most unfortunate therefore that a few disgruntled elements purporting to protest his death desecrated his funeral with violence and attacks on innocent persons.
” They dishonoured him and did his memory a great disservice by keeping his friends, political associates and well-wishers away from his burial.
“The best we could do in the circumstance was to declare three days of mourning throughout the state and fly national, state and our party’s
flags at half-staff in his honour.
“He is irreplaceable in our hearts. We commiserate with his family, the good people of Ede, associates, friends, constituents and generality of our people on the passage of this patriot.
“As we pray for the repose of his soul, we equally pray for the strength to bear this heavy loss”.
Adeleke, who was representing Osun West Senatorial District, died on April 23.
