Summary
A former pastor, James Gorman Houston III, faces serious charges—including electronic solicitation of a child and traveling to meet a minor for sex—after an undercover sting by the West Alabama Human Trafficking Task Force. Investigators revealed explicit messages he sent to someone he believed was underage, planning to meet in Tuscaloosa County. He was arrested shortly after exiting his car and reportedly confessed post-arrest. His father, former Alabama Supreme Court Justice J. Gorman Houston Jr., recently passed away, adding emotional weight to the case. Trial is set for September 28th—innocent until proven guilty, but this one’s sure to make headlines.
