Case Story |

Associate Pastor Has A Secret |
|
| |
To the faithful of the Herndon, Va. Pentecostal Church, Jack Clark was a charismatic associate pastor. His father had opened the church, and Clark often led services and offered guidance and support to the tight-knit congregation. But cops say Clark was not the kind of person who should be giving others guidance.
Police say Clark married a woman from the church and the two of them moved to a house nearby. Soon after, cops believe the couple befriended a 12-year-old girl from the congregation -- and often invited her over to their home to do various chores in exchange for money.
On the surface, it appeared Clark was simply trying to help out a young girl by giving her the opportunity to earn some extra money. But according to police, his true intentions were not so pure.
Investigators say Jack began earning the girl's trust by allowing her to watch movies -- something strictly forbidden by the church -- after his wife went to sleep. Gradually, cops believe Clark began touching the young girl inappropriately, and his actions eventually escalated. |

Clark Runs From Rape Charges |
|
| |
Cops say on December 8, 1995, the girl was at Clark's house for one of her regular visits when he took things one step further and sexually assaulted the girl. According to police, Clark had successfully caught his victim in a classic trap -- she wanted the abuse to stop but was frightened to tell anyone what was happening.
Cops say he continued pushing the limits of his abuse and sodomized the girl in April 1996. Although she was scared, the girl could not ignore what was happening any longer and told her friend about the incident. Realizing what Clark did was wrong, the friend told an adult -- and they called the police.
On April 16, 1996, Herndon police charged Clark with sodomy by force and statutory rape. Clark was convicted on both charges, and sentenced to 16 years in jail. But in June 1997, Clark appealed the convictions -- and that's when things started to get ugly.
The same day Clark appealed, his father sold the church he owned and used the proceeds to bond his son out on a $125,000 cash bond.
In Sept. 2001, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled they would not re-hear the case and the original sentence would stand. But Clark was nowhere to be found. Cops say he fled after his father bailed him out. The court issued a bench warrant for Jack Jr.'s arrest. |

Clark Resurfaces, Cops Close Behind |
|
| |
Police were frustrated by Clark's disappearance, and seemed to have few leads to follow -- until March 2003, when they were contacted by authorities from Los Angeles, Calif.
LAPD told Fairfax County police that they'd approached a homeless man sleeping in a Chevy Astro van. The van had a handmade sign where the license plate should have been that said the original plate had been stolen. Since they had no reason to hold him, the cops let him go. But as he drove off, police got a hit on the ID the homeless man had provided -- it was Jack Clark.
What followed was a high speed chase that lasted over two hours. Cops say they tore through neighborhoods, yards, and fences until Clark crashed into a brick building in Santa Monica, Calif. Unfortunately, Clark was able to escape yet again.
On May 8, 2008, Clark was eventually arrested in Houston, Texas after he left behind luggage in a Louisiana casino. In the luggage police found a load pistol and two clips. |
