ORANGE PARK, Fla. A former Orange Park pastor will spend 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual battery last month.
William Randall, 77, spent 30 years as the pastor at St. Simon Baptist Church. In 2018, he was arrested and charged with four felonies related to the sexual abuse of child between 12 and 18. The charges related to more than one alleged victim.
Randall initially pleaded not guilty and maintained his innocence for more than two years. Then, last month, Randall pleaded guilty to only one count of felony sexual battery in exchange for prosecutors dropping the other three charges against him. However, prosecutors did not offer him a negotiated sentence.
