CHARLOTTE, N.C.-A former Gastonia pastor pleaded guilty on Friday to charges he engaged in illicit sexual conduct with two minors while in Haiti working for a church ministry.
As Larry Michael Bollinger, his legs shackled, walked into the courtroom, he smiled and waved to his wife.
“I would not be here if I had not confessed what I had done,” Bollinger, 67, told U.S. Magistrate Judge David Cayer.
Bollinger, struggling to hold back tears, then said: “I am very remorseful -� I am willing to accept responsibility.”
