Alabama pastor found guilty on multiple rape charges

Bradrick Vail Sr., a 35-year-old pastor from Mobile, has been found guilty on seven counts of sexual misconduct, according to court records.

Vail was initially charged in May with three counts of first-degree rape, one count of first-degree sodomy, and three counts of sexual abuse.

“Vail was identified as the suspect following a multi-jurisdictional investigation involving multiple victims coming forward,” interim Mobile Police Chief William Jackson said previously.

“The preliminary investigation suggests that Vail contacted some of his victims through a church in Mobile, AL. Investigators believe there may be more victims.”

Vail was the pastor of Tree of Life Ministries, according to his Facebook page.
