He’s been sentenced to eight to 16 months of jail, but his father thinks he’s “been punished enough already by losing his opportunity to continue as a pastor.”

The incidents, according to a criminal complaint, occurred from September 2003 through December 2006. At least three of the victims were reportedly touched during a hide-a-seek game in a darkened church.

One victim, now 23, testified that Neiswender used problems she and other girls sought his counseling for against them.
