FREDERICK, Md. (AP) – The former pastor of a Montgomery County church is going to prison for molesting a 10-year-old girl.
Seventy-4-year-old Joe Ivey of Walkersville was sentenced Wednesday in Frederick to four years, with another 16 suspended.
The former senior pastor of the Barnesville Baptist Church pleaded guilty last month to second-degree sex offense. He allegedly abused the girl in February 2010 while she visited his home.
State’s Attorney Charlie Smith says Ivey must register as sex offender after his release.
