A former Lancaster pastor last week agreed to a plea deal to drop 12 charges of sexual abuse of children in exchange for pleading guilty to one charge.

Thomas Wall on Dec. 8 pleaded guilty to one count of sexual abuse of a child, according to Garrard County court records.

His plea agreement states that for his guilty plea to the one count, his other 12 charges of sexual abuse involving children are dismissed. It was also recommended that Wall serve one year in jail.

Wall will be sentenced on Feb. 16, 2024.

In 2022, Wall was arrested and indicted for sexual abuse involving seven children over several years, starting in 2007.

According to the indictment, most of the children were listed as being under 12; one was listed as being under 16.

Wall was pastor at Pentecostal Fellowship Church in Lancaster and head of its Fellowship Christian Academy.
