Leonard Church served two terms as Kennesaw, Georgia’s mayor, and continued to serve after that as a city council member. He was accused of sexually molesting a 9-year-old boy after showing the boy child pornography. They found between 800 and 1000 child sexual exploitation images on his computer devices. He originally pled not guilty, but changed his plea to guilty in a deal where the prosecutors changed the charge from aggravated child molestation to simple child molestation. He will spent 18 years in prison. He earlier rejected a plea deal that would have only been 15 years.
