CLEVELAND - Rev. Charles O. Clarke, 74, pastor of Freedom Chapel, was placed
on 5-years probation for molesting 5 boys during the last 18 years. He
pleaded guilty in Oct. to 5 counts of gross sexual imposition as part of a
plea agreement. Judge Janet Burnside said she gave that sentence because
Clarke is not a pedophile and unlikely to repeat the offense. She said and
investigation had disclosed his preference was for age-appropriate women. He
does, however, have to register with law enforcement authorities every year
for the next decade.
