Court of Appeals of Washington February 7, 2003, No. 27613-5-II (State v. Glenn)

Seinfeld, J. —

The State charged Herman Glenn, Jr., a youth pastor, with child molestation and child rape. The trial court granted Glenn’s motion to suppress statements that he made to a church elder about his alleged misconduct, finding that they were protected by the clergy/penitent privilege. We granted the State’s motion for discretionary review, but finding no error, we affirm.
