FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – A judge has revoked a former North Texas minister’s probation and ordered him to serve 10 years in prison over a 2008 sexual assault conviction involving a teenage parishioner.
James Virtue Robinson IV was re-sentenced Wednesday in Fort Worth. A judge determined the 42-year-old Robinson, who in 2008 was sentenced to 10 years of deferred adjudication, violated probation eight times.
Robinson originally pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a then-15-year-old girl. Fort Worth police said some encounters happened inside Southwood Baptist Church.
