The former pastor of the Loyall Church of God was sentenced to 20 years in prison Wednesday on his conviction for two counts of second-degree rape and two counts of second-degree sodomy. The victim was 14 at the time the offenses occurred.
Special Judge Robert Costanzo followed the jury’s recommendation on sentencing Jeremy Caraway to five years on each count to run concurrently.
Costanzo agreed to allow time served be credited toward the total sentence.
Caraway will be required to serve 85 percent of the sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
Caraway, 38, originally 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 the use of an electronic communications system to procure a minor for a sexual offense.
