Robert Reeves of Mount Vernon
faces more than 25 years in prison
for abusing two boys.
DELAWARE, Ohio -- A former youth minister acknowledged yesterday that he molested two young boys during sleepovers at his home.
Authorities initially charged Robert Reeves, 41, of Mount Vernon in Knox County, with nine counts of gross sexual imposition. In an agreement reached with prosecutors, Reeves pleaded guilty to five of the original counts and pleaded no contest to one count of attempted gross sexual imposition.
Delaware County Common Pleas Judge W. Duncan Whitney said he will sentence Reeves on Dec. 11.
Reeves, who was a minister at Olive Green Church of Christ in Sunbury, admitted to sexual contact with two boys younger than 13 during separate incidents at his former home on Fredericks Road in Porter Township. Prosecutors say the abuse went on between 1996 and 2002.
The judge could sentence Reeves to more than 25 years in prison.
What's with these freaks? Is being a minister a prerequisite for paedophilia?
