Governor Steve Beshear has pardoned a convicted child molestor
and given him back some of his rights.
  Ron Berry, the former head of the Micro-City Government Youth Program, served three years in prison after being convicted of 12 counts of sodomy involving teenage boys.
 Governor Beshear signed Berry's pardon back on August 20th, not only restoring his right to vote but it also allows him to hold office.
  The attorney who represented Berry's accusers tells the Herald Leader she is fine with him being allowed to vote but stunned that he could hold office.
  Beshear spokesman Jay Blanton tells the Herald Leader the governor routinely approves the partial restoration of civil rights if applicants have served their sentence, paid restitution and have no further charges against them.
