PINE CITY, Minn. — The leader of an isolated religious sect in
Minnesota was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison, weeks after he
pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two teenage girls who were members
of his community.
Victor Barnard, 55, agreed to the 30-year sentence as part of his plea deal earlier this month in Pine County. Barnard was the longtime leader of the River Road Fellowship near Finlayson, about 90 miles north of Minneapolis-St. Paul.
