“Ernest Willis of Gilford admitted that he raped and impregnated his children’s babysitter, Tina Anderson, in 1997. He maintains that the sex was consensual but acknowledges that the girl was under the legal age of consent.”

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

NewSite to correct "Deacon" reference

[ppayette] they represent Willis as a Church Deacon which he was not. He was not in any leadership position.
You’re the second person to question whether Willis was a church deacon.

While several major new agencies said he was a church deacon at the time of the crime, I will change story to describe him as a church member.

Why? I’ve noticed that New Hampshire newspapers describe him as a member of the church, not a deacon.

Thanks for your feedback.
