A Tulsa minister was sentenced Monday to seven concurrent life terms in prison for sexually abusing and impregnating a 15-year-old girl.

Gregory Ivan Hawkins, 56, was sentenced in Tulsa County District Court by Judge James Caputo.

Hawkins was charged with seven counts of child sex abuse in Tulsa County in 2013 and pleaded guilty to two of the counts and no contest to the others on June 15.

A 15-year-old girl told Tulsa police that Hawkins had begun abusing her in 2012 and was the father of her then-unborn child.
