Mack Allen Davis, former youth minister at Lakeside Baptist Church, Birmingham, was sentenced to 15 years in prison May 15 for the sexual abuse of minors. The sentence charged Davis with two counts of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of first-degree sodomy.
He was accused of molesting two boys over the course of a decade from the late 1970s to the late 1980s in various locations and pled guilty to the accusations Dec. 1, 2014, in Jefferson County Court.
Davis began serving at Lakeside Baptist in 1977 as minister of youth and recreation and the following summer also was named director of the church’s camp.
He retired in 1999 at age 59. His wife also filed for divorce that year.
The 74-year-old still faces charges involving the same victims in Cherokee and St. Clair counties.
