MOBILE, Alabama – A jury today convicted a local pastor of sexually abusing a teenage girl.
The jury found Cederick McMillan, 27, guilty of second-degree sodomy and first-degree sexual abuse.
The Eight Mile man is pastor of New Birth Community Church in Mobile and helped found Prichard Preparatory Academy.
Law enforcement authorities accused him of sexually touching and having oral sex with a girl when she was 14 years old in 2007.
“I’m very upset with the jury verdict,” defense attorney Jeff Deen said. “But he had a good cross-section of the community, and I’m a very strong believer in the jury system.”
