For those who may not know, Tommy Shelton, who is the brother of Danny Shelton, worked at 3ABN for a period of time. He is mentioned as a former pastor of the Community Church of God. What is (or has been in the past) his relationship with the SDA Church?

That is a good question.
All I really know about him as far as any connection or relationship with the SDA Church goes is that he is the brother of Danny Shelton and he also worked at 3ABN, which is supposed to have some type of relationship with the SDA Church.

Daryl, I might be wrong, but I think this update is probably part of the news item you are confining this thread to. Tommy Shelton pled guilty to child molestation last Monday, July 19, as reported by the Washington Post: "Minister pleads guilty to molesting boys in Fairfax." From the article: The former pastor of a Fairfax County church pleaded guilty Monday morning to molesting two boys who were under his supervision in the 1990s, and Fairfax prosecutors agreed to a deal in which the man would spend no time in jail.
But Fairfax Circuit Court Judge Randy I. Bellows said he may not accept the deal, in which case the defendant, Tommy R. Shelton Jr., could withdraw his plea and take the case to another judge. Sentencing is to occur on September 24. But if the judge does not accept the plea deal because he thinks Tommy should serve some jail time, things may be up in the air awhile longer.

You can plea deal yourself out of a child molestation sentence?

You can plea deal yourself out of a child molestation sentence? Originally, Tommy tried to get a deal that would get him out of both jail time and having to register as a sex offender. That didn't fly. Then around a few weeks before his first trial was to begin, his lawyer tried again, but with the understanding that he would have to register as a sex offender. I guess you can try to strike whatever deal the prosecutor is willing to go with. But in this case the judge said he wasn't sure he was going to accept the deal if there was no jail time. You're right, though. It doesn't sound right for Tommy to get out of all jail time.

His pleading guilty obviously makes him a sex offender and removes the innocent until proven guilty aspect, as I can't see an innocent person pleading guilty for any reason, especially in the case of a professing Christian, which I think he claimed, or claims to be.

Just an update on this to say that due to an illness of the judge on the day Tommy Shelton was to have been sentenced, he hasn't been sentenced yet.
It is my understanding that he will be sentenced some time in December.
