The trial of Jeremy Caraway wrapped up Wednesday with the defendant being found guilty of rape.
The jury recommended a sentence of five years on each count to run concurrently, for a total of 20 years in prison. This was the maximum sentence allowed.
Caraway, 38, of Loyall, is the former pastor of Loyall Church of God. He was indicted on two counts of second-degree rape, two counts of second-degree sodomy, two counts of first-degree sexual abuse, two counts of first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor and one count of use of an electronic communications system to procure a minor for a sexual offense. He was arrested on the charges in May 2011.
The second day of testimony began in front of Judge Robert McGinnis at 9 a.m., with the defense presenting their case.
