A judge has denied the request of convicted child molester Rev. James Schook to be released from prison after serving six months of a 15-year sentence.
Schook, 67, was found guilty in April of molesting a 13-year-old alter boy in the 1970s. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison on three counts of sodomy and one count of indecent and immoral practices.
Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Mitch Perry denied the motion for shock probation ahead of a hearing scheduled for Friday.
“The Defendant shall remain in custody to serve out his sentence in accordance with the law,” Perry wrote in the order denying Schook’s request.
