His disgusting Church and family claims he's a "good Christian." But of course what else does a good Christian do but prey upon the weak. Anyone who could defend this thing should also be investigated. Story out of Montgomery County, Texas:
A onetime volunteer youth pastor from Willis won't be eligible for parole until 2046 after he was given a life sentence for his recent conviction on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Dell Ivan Godkin, 48, was convicted Aug. 11 by a Montgomery County jury, prosecutors said in a news release this week.
The victim — whom prosecutors say was a relative — told the jurors that the abuse began when she was 13 and continued until shortly before her 17th birthday, when they "made a deal" that he would stop abusing her if she would not tell anyone.
"He would say lots of things about God being OK with it," prosecutor Monica Cooper said. He would use Bible verses about men's and women's roles to justify the abuse.
Cooper said members of Godkin's family and church testified that he was a good Christian whom they could not believe had assaulted a child.
According to prosecutors, Godkin's ex-wife testified during the punishment phase of the trial that he beat her repeatedly during their 12-year marriage. Cont.
