Greensburg, Ind. — Convicted sex offender and former minister, Duncan Danforth Aker Jr., 65, has returned to Indiana and is once again living in the Greensburg area.
In 2015 Aker was charged in Lewis County, Kentucky with five counts of first degree sexual assault and four counts of first degree sodomy. Aker and his attorneys were able to reach a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to the five counts of first degree sexual assault. In return the prosecutor dropped the four counts of first degree sodomy. Concerns from the victim’s family and counselor led Kentucky officials to accept the plea deal.
Court documents show he was sentenced to one year in jail and given credit for time served. He is also required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
According to the Lewis County Herald, Aker was accused of having deviate sexual contact with a male under the age of 12 on five occasions between October of 2007 and March of 2010. Documents from the court allege Aker committed the acts in a vehicle, in an outbuilding on his Kentucky property, along the side of a road and in the Vanceburg Christian Church where he served as the minister.
Aker was the minister at the Kentucky church from 2006 to 2011.
