A former Columbus pastor accused of raping a juvenile pleaded guilty and was sentenced to at least 15 years in prison, according to Franklin County Court of Common Pleas documents.
George Bell was indicted last year on four counts of rape and two counts of gross sexual imposition with the alleged crimes reportedly happening between 2021 and 2024. According to the indictment, the victim was under the age of 10.
Bell pleaded guilty to two counts of rape. The other charges were dismissed.
He was sentenced to 15 to 20 years in prison and must register as a Tier III sex offender.
Bell was a pastor at Anchor Baptist Church in Columbus at the time of the incidents.
The church said in a statement last year that Bell had resigned in front of the church on June 27, 2024, citing personal reasons.
Bell founded Anchor Baptist Church in 1989 and served for almost 35 years as pastor before he resigned.

Translation:
Independent- No authority higher than the pastor, so he can do whatever the hell he wants without consequences.
Fundamental - This always applies to a literal interpretation of Genesis or an overemphasis on Old Testament moral teachings, while they actively oppose the socialistic teachings of Christ and his apostles.
King James Bible - We'll deliberately use a version of scripture written in antiquated English most of the congregation doesn't understand, so that they'll not question the interpretation of the wise and learned pastor.
