WASHINGTON (WUSA9) — A former D.C. police officer and pastor teared up in court Thursday while pleading guilty to multiple sex crimes.
Darrell Best, 46, is expected to spend the next 18 years in jail after pleading guilty to one count of producing child pornography, one count of first-degree sexual abuse of a minor and one count of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor.
The charges stem from incidents involving two female minors who knew him through the Southeast D.C. church where he served as head pastor. Prosecutors say one incident happened on December 3, 2014, at Metropolitan Police Department headquarters and another happened inside the church on February 14, 2015.
In both cases, Best was wearing his MPD uniform.
