BRUNSWICK, Ga. – Pastor Ken Adkins, who has been in the Glynn County Jail for nearly four months since he was accused of molesting a teenage boy, will likely remain locked up until another bond hearing, which has been postponed until Dec. 30, his attorney, Kevin Gough, said Thursday.
Adkins, 56, pastor of the Greater Dimensions Christian Fellowship, was denied bond in September on child molestation charges, was indicted by the Glynn County grand jury last month on three counts of child molestation, five counts of aggravated child molestation, two counts of enticing a child for indecent purposes and one count of influencing a witness.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, a young man told investigators that Adkins molested him in 2010 when he was a member of Adkins’ church as a boy under the age of 16.
Gough filed a new motion for bond and in reaction to the indictment said, “Having already demanded a speedy trial, and eager to clear his good name, Pastor Kenneth Adkins and his family look forward to his day in court.”
