On December 12, 2001, Kenneth L. Gentry Jr. was arrested at his residence in Placentia, California, for committing two separate acts of indecent exposure, during routine physical exams (see police report below). On September 17, 2002, Kenneth L. Gentry pled guilty to one count of Indecent Exposure, which he committed on or about June 1, 2001. His plea reads as follows:My plea of GUILTY or NO CONTEST is made with a full understanding of all the matters set forth in the Complaint and in this form, which I declare under penalty of perjury that I have read, understood, and that I have personally initialed each item herein. I further declare that everything on this form is true and correct and understand that the signing and filing of this form is Conclusive Evidence that I have pleaded guilty or nor contest to the charges set forth. . . .
DATED 9/17/02
SIGNED Kenneth L. Gentry Jr.
(DEFENDANT)
The court sentenced Gentry to two years probation, mandatory counseling, and the court placed Gentry on California’s sex offender list for the two years.
Kenneth Gentry immediately moved from California to Maryland and joined the PCA (transferring from the OPC?), where he modified his story from “guilty” to “falsely accused by an overly sensitive nurse who was a rape victim.” After an investigation, however, the PCA suspended Gentry from office.
Gentry then moved to the Reformed Presbyterian Church (RPCGA), where he repeated the story about a nurse who had been raped. He apparently neglected to inform the RPCGA that he declared, “under penalty of perjury,” that his plea of guilt was “true and correct.” The RPCGA received him as an affiliate and he currently pastors Living Hope Fellowship.
Hopefully the RPCGA will place Gentry under discipline so that he may apply for membership in the CREC where he belongs.
