Three local pastors all facing serious child sex trafficking charges faced a federal judge together for the first time. Cordell Jenkins, Anthony Haynes and Kenneth Butler's cases were essentially combined into one group of charges to simplify things in the courtroom.
The charges include sex trafficking of children and producing child porn. Those charges came after the men were accused of having sex with young girls in their churches and hotels. The charges are federal charges and if found guilty they could face a sentence of life in a federal prison.
