Iowa Pastors Gets 25 Years For Abusing 5-Year-Old Girl
SIDNEY, Iowa (AP) — A southwest Iowa pastor has been given 25 years in prison for sexually abusing a 5-year-old girl.
Roger Kissel was sentenced Wednesday in Sidney. In March a Fremont County jury convicted the 68-year-old of sex abuse and two counts of lascivious acts with a child.
When he was arrested, Kissel was a pastor at the nondenominational Sidney Cowboy Church. Police have said the allegations weren't connected to the church. Prosecutors say the crimes occurred in 2013.
