Man Pleads Guilty in Child Sex Case

Court records indicate that a 46-year-old North Webster man has pleaded guilty to having a sexual relationship with a girl who was younger than 16 at the time. The defendant, who has worked as a church pastor, entered a plea agreement through which he pleads guilty to sexual misconduct with a minor and the state dismisses charges of child seduction and child molesting. Police say the victim told them she had sex with the man for three years, beginning when she was 13. A judge scheduled sentencing for October.
