THE BRONX – A Bronx pastor was found guilty Wednesday on charges he inappropriately touched a female member of his congregation in 2014.
Franklin Porterfield, of Faith Love Community Church, says he was hoping the court would vindicate him and left disappointed.
“I don’t feel good about what happened,” he told News 12.
A Bronx judge handed down a split decision finding Porterfield guilty of attempted forcible touching and third-degree sexual abuse, but not guilty of harassment.
“I was found guilty of one thing and not guilty of another,” Porter said.
