Bibb County minister pleads guilty to sex with 15-year-old girl

MACON - A judge sentenced a Macon pastor to 10 years&#39; probation after the minister pleaded guilty to having sex with a 15-year-old member of his congregation. <br> <br> Marcus Little, 29, also must serve nine months in a probation detention center and perform 100 hours of community service, under the sentence delivered Friday. Little, who had no criminal record, was given first-offender status so that the conviction will be removed if he completes the sentence successfully. <br> <br> Little, pastor of Word of Truth Tabernacle of Praise, was charged with statutory rape. <br> <br> ``I just want to say that I&#39;m very sorry to the family I hurt, to everyone I hurt,&#39;&#39; Little said before he was sentenced. ``I really regret what I&#39;ve done and the pain I&#39;ve caused.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Little was arrested in September, a month after the girl&#39;s sister reported the relationship, which began in December 1999.
