Ocala – A 59-year-old man who liked to attend Sunday church services dressed in women’s clothing, hair and makeup, was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday after being convicted of inappropriately touching three elderly women in his church choir last spring.

Robin Forbes, of Summerfield, was also sentenced to eight years of probation and two years of community control by Circuit Judge Willard Pope, immediately after a six-member jury found the defendant guilty as charged on three third-degree felony counts of battery on a person over age 65.
