(Memphis) A now-former COGIC pastor told his story for the first time when he pleaded guilty to molesting an underage family member for the past two years.
Thursday, Michael Bryant was sentenced to six years in prison as part of a plea deal.
He had hoped to get probation instead so he could get psychological help and work.
“I take full responsibility with everything that has happened, and I regret that it happened,” said Bryant.
Bryant said he’s sorry for fondling a 16-year-old family member as many as two times a month for two years.
