AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - A victim of a convicted Augusta child psychologist is speaking out after the Georgia Parole Board reversed its tentative decision to grant parole to Dr. Kenneth McPherson, who was accused of sexually abusing young patients.

Zachary Potts, who first contacted 12 On Your Side in 2021 , said the parole denial proves that victims have power in the justice system.

McPherson had been tentatively granted parole back in August before the board changed course and denied his release.

“They need to really, they need to go ahead and speak up if something is not right about their case,” Potts said. “Or if they don’t feel like they got enough justice done to it.”
