Former youth pastor gets 21 years for sex abuse

A former youth pastor was sentenced Thursday to 21 years in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl last year. Nicholas Lawrence, 27, apologized for his behavior over the nearly seven-month period that he engaged in the illicit conduct, saying it was selfish of him and inexcusable.
“The words ‘I am sorry’ just don’t seem strong enough,” he said, adding that he has worked to modify his behavior so he could deal with things in a more appropriate manner.
