Pastor who said Pulse massacre victims got what they deserved is arrested for child molestation.

A Georgia pastor and and conservative political activist was arrested Friday morning on charges of child molestation and aggravated child molestation. Ken Adkins, 56, of St. Simons Island turned himself into police at about 9 a.m., according to officials with Georgia Bureau of Investigation. GBI was requested on Aug. 12 to assist officials with the accusations against Adkins. Adkins is currently in the Glynn County Jail. The investigation is ongoing. Adkins has one church with locations in Brunswick, Jacksonville and Atlanta, according to his website. Adkins recently came under fire when he tweeted “homosexuals got what they deserved” after the deadly mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub. His Twitter account has been set to private.

It turning out that the victim is male ... THAT ... would make it 'predictable'.

Saying that it's predictable that someone who is homophobic turns out to be a child molester ... not sure I'd agree, or at least that's not really the 'stereotype', is it? It's more typical that they are themselves 'closeted' ...

Thoughts go out to the young person(s), hope they one day recover. May this bastard rot, and get everything that's coming to him.

Let it be known that the nastiest, most offensive, homophobic comments came from a hypocrite who was molesting children. I wonder if he hates himself? He should.

Neither homophobia nor child molestation are laughing matters, but I'll confess to feeling a bit of schadenfreude about this.

to be charged with "aggravated child molestation"?

On second thought, don't answer that...
