Earlier this month, Wayne Bent was convicted of molesting one of two teenage girls who climbed into his bed naked.
Bent is the leader of "The Lord Our Righteousness Church." It’s a cult based at a compound in Union County.
Bent's attorney argued that the encounters weren't sexual, but religious ceremonies.
The self-proclaimed Messiah could be sentenced to up to 18 years behind bars.
