Mistrial declared in Kim molestation case

Youth pastor Peter Kim, who I posted on here, had his sexual assault  case declared a mistrial on Tuesday.  Kim is the pastor who viewed his relationship with an underage girl as a "bad dating decision".

A Boulder district judge declared a mistrial this afternoon in the sexual assault trial of a former youth pastor suspected of having a physical relationship with a minor who was attending his Longmont church.

Judge D.D. Mallard said the jury was deadlocked 8-4 after deliberating the fate of Peter Kim, 40, all day today.

A juror told the Camera that the eight votes were in favor of conviction.

The good news here is that Kim will face trail again. If convicted he faces life in Prison.
