ALBION, N.Y. (WKBW) - After a major delay on Monday, a jury returned a
verdict in the case against 70-year-old Roy Harriger, convicting the pastor
of two of three counts of coercive criminal sexual conduct against a child.
Jurors began deliberating Harriger’s fate on Friday but were sent home after
not reaching a decision by the time court closed for the day. They were set
to continue Monday and re-listen to three witnesses’ testimony, but there
was a major problem.
The court recorder had a pipe burst in her office over the weekend, drenching
her laptop that contained all of the testimony. At first, she was unable to
retrieve the data, which could have resulted in a mistrial.
But after a delay, the testimony was recovered. Jurors listened to the
witnesses again and then continued deliberations.
As the verdict was read on Monday, there were gasps, deep breaths, tears and
even a cheer inside Orleans County Court. Harriger had no comment as he
walked out of the courtroom.
Harriger molested two of his grandchildren around 12 years ago when he was
pastor of Wesleyan Church in Lyndonville. He originally faced three counts of
incest, but those charges were later dropped.
After his arrest last year, at least 15 people in three states have signed
affidavits claiming Harriger molested them as children, but many of those
cases are past the statute of limitations.
Family members spoke to 7 Eyewitness News after sentencing. We are concealing
their identities due to the sensitive nature of this case that involves
children.
One family member said, "I thought of him as my father. The only dad I knew.
And for him to do this to my kids killed me because I couldn't believe that a
man who was supposed to be a man of God would do this, to anybody. So I just
thank whoever is up there, putting him away for good, where he needs to go. I
want my kids to enjoy the rest of their lives knowing that he's in jail."
There were family members on both sides - those who support Harriger and
those who are accusing him of abuse. Those that spoke to 7 Eyewitness news
said they are relieved at the guilty verdict but upset that he remains out on
bail.
Harriger, who is currently the pastor of Community Fellowship Church in the
Town of Hartland, has not been allowed to attend church or do anything else
that would allow him to interact with children since being charged.
He remains free on bail until he is sentenced April 6. He could face up to 25
years in prison for each conviction and the Orleans County DA says he will be
pushing for the maximum sentence.

簡單來說 就是一個牧師性侵了小孩
只是不確定這個牧師是雞督徒還是手督徒
犯案過程至少15年以上
有時候覺得基督徒真的 好有大愛的
佛教的僧侶法師只要發生這種事情
一定會趕出僧團
即使 他的職位 很高 也是一樣
牧師好像發生事情之後
經常還能繼續在原單位擔任牧師
或是換一個新環境 當一個雞督徒 手督徒
