HAMMOND, Ind. (AP) _ The former pastor of a northwestern Indiana megachurch is asking a judge to reduce his 12-year sentence for having sex with a teenage congregant because he claims the girl was sexually experienced and aggressive.
The Times reports an attorney for Jack Schaap filed a memorandum this week in U.S. District Court in Hammond asking to present new evidence about the girl's “prior extensive sexual experience'' and her use of alcohol and marijuana.
