UTICA, N.Y. - A former pastor of Resurrection Assembly of God Church in Clinton has been sentenced to three years in prison for sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl.

William Procanick has been free on bail since he was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child in January.

During his trial, the 54-year-old said he was only giving a back rub to the child, who was spending the night at his home. He denied receiving any sexual gratification from the massage, and said he didn't do anything he wouldn't have done with his own children.
