Goligher resigns after sex offence made public

Liam Goligher

This article contains material some may find upsetting. Reformed minister Liam Goligher has resigned his post at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania after revelations that he engaged in sexual activity in a public park almost a decade ago.

Police records from July 2014 show Goligher pleaded guilty to breaching an ordinance governing the conduct of visitors at Lancaster County public parks.

The relevant section of the ordinance (which has since been replaced) prohibited engagement in any form of sexual activity. Goligher was issued with a $150 fine.
