Former pastor sentenced to 35 years in molestation case

LEXINGTON — Before a 62-year-old former preacher was sentenced to serve 35 years in prison for child molestation, he urged his victim “to swallow your pride and come forward to fix your mistake.”
Larry McKinley Clark proclaimed his innocence and directed most of his remarks during his sentencing hearing to the teenager he was convicted of molesting during two and a half years, starting when the boy was in middle school.
Clark said unless the teen confesses the truth, “you will carry the guilt of this your whole life.”
