Two of three Victory Christian Center employees who pleaded no contest to a charge of failing to report child abuse will spend time in jail.
Paul Howard Willemstein, Anna Alisa George and Harold Frank Sullivan entered the no-contest pleas on Monday. The three had waived their right to a jury trial last month.
Tulsa County Special Judge Bill Hiddle found each of them guilty of the misdemeanor charge.
Willemstein, 33, and George, 24, both assistant youth pastors at the 17,000-member Tulsa megachurch, were ordered to spend 30 days in jail, with the remainder of their one-year terms suspended. They were led from the courtroom in handcuffs by Tulsa County sheriff’s deputies.
