COFFEE COUNTY, ALABAMA: A former pastor charged with raping a 14-year-old
girl who he married after she became pregnant will receive no jail time.
As per reports, Jason Greathouse struck a plea deal with Coffee County
District Attorney Tom Anderson to downgrade his 20-year rape sentence to
one-year unsupervised probation, according to Greathouses’ attorney, David
Harrison.
Greathouse, who used to minister in Enterprise, a city in the southeastern
part of Coffee County, now lives in Hendersonville, Tennessee. As per
reports, his deal downgrades his charge from second-degree rape, a felony,
to contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor. The pastor
also reportedly does not have to register as a sex offender under the
agreement’s terms. Judge Jeff Kelley has forbidden Greathouse from having
contact with his former wife except for matters involving their child.

Coffee County District Attorney Tom Anderson said on October 15 that his
office made the deal because “there were extenuating circumstances that
would have been allowed to be presented by the defense that very likely
could have resulted in a mistrial or even a not guilty [verdict] by jury
nullification.” Anderson said there are now “issues pertaining to
custody/visitation that the defense would argue are the motivation for
reporting [the alleged rape] many years later.”
The alleged crime occurred in 2008 when Greathouse was 24 and Ashley
Pereira (her current name) was 14. Greathouse had been living with her
family and had a sexual relationship with the victim. As per WTVY,
Pereira, testifying during the October 14 sentencing hearing, told Coffee
County Circuit Judge Jeff Kelley that Greathouse took advantage of her
innocence. She became pregnant and her family forced them to marry, she
claimed. By 2009, the couple had divorced.
It was not until 2020 did Pereira, who has built a life in Tennessee,
formally accused the pastor of rape. The report said that since Pereira
married Greathouse after the crime, which occurred 13 years ago, there
were serious challenges for prosecutors. Thus, prosecutors “felt like this
(plea agreement) is in the best interest of all parties.” They said that
had a jury not convicted Greathouse he would have walked away without
consequences.
“Anytime I have a client walk out of a courthouse with a misdemeanor
instead of a felony I’m wonderfully satisfied,” said David Harrison,
Greathouse’s attorney. “That is the same (punishment) as buying beer for a
minor (would be),” a frustrated Pereira, who opposed the deal, said.
Though divorced for years, Pereira and Greathouse had continued to spar
over issues related to their daughter, now a teen. “When she failed to get
custody of this child three times she comes down (to Enterprise) and
brings this case,” Harrison said.
Pereira, now a businesswoman and actress living in Tennessee, said, “I
hope to help other people — other girls — who have been through something
similar.” She added of the pastor, “I think when someone doesn’t think
they are guilty they are still potentially very dangerous.”
