Tom Keesee remains free after rape convictions, faces life sentence
A man whose parents founded a New Albany megachurch, now convicted of more than two dozen sexual assault charges , will be allowed to remain free until January despite facing a life sentence. Knox County Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Wetzel found 38-year-old Gary "Tom" Keesee Jr. guilty on Nov. 6 of 27 felony charges related to allegations made by three women who said the former church youth pastor and social media coordinator sexually abused them as children. Keesee shook his head repeatedly as Wetzel read the allegations while delivering his verdict. His parents, Faith Life Church founders Gary and Drenda Keesee, showed no visible emotion during the verdict but remained in the courtroom after everyone else left the hearing, sitting in silence. The courtroom had been full of community members and people with interest in the case, including former church members. After finding Keesee guilty, Wetzel denied a request by prosecutors to have Keesee's bond revoked, allowing him to remain free until his sentencing on Jan. 8. Keesee surrendered his passport as part of his bond conditions. Keesee case background: Son of New Albany megachurch founders facing more rape, sexual imposition charges Wetzel found Keesee guilty of 11 counts
