A former pastor at a Kansas City church pleaded guilty Thursday to child molestation and sexual misconduct with a child.
George L. Spencer, 59, agreed to sentences totaling seven years for groping and sodomizing a 13-year-old girl in February 2012.
Spencer was an associate pastor at Greater Works CME Church in south Kansas City. He took the girl to his office in the church while her mother and grandmother were attending Bible study upstairs.
The girl said Spencer groped her and made her take off her shirt and bra, according to court documents. He put his hands down her pants, sodomized her with his finger and exposed his genitals, the documents said. Spencer told the girl that he could get in a lot of trouble for his actions.
