MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- A 56-year-old Mount Vernon preacher who pleaded guilty to incest in October has been sentenced to 30 months in prison.
The Rev. Leonard Frazier made a blind plea to incest before Mobile County Circuit Judge Rick Stout on Oct. 9. He originally was charged with rape and sodomy.
A blind plea meant no sentenced deal was worked out with prosecutors.
Frazier was pastor of the Stonewall Baptist Church near Chatom in Washington County at the time of his arrest a year ago. His accuser, now in her 20s, told authorities Frazier attacked her sexually when she was a teen nine years ago. She was identified as being related to Frazier by marriage.
