Youth Minister Guility of Sex Crimes
On February 22, 2010, the former youth minister at a Clermont County church pleaded guilty to sexual battery and unlawful sexual conduct involving a 15-year-old girl. Christoper E. Evans, 39, could get up to 50 years in prison when sentenced. During the hearing, Evans bowed his head and wiped tears from his eyes with a handkerchief. After serving any sentence imposed, Evans will be required to register as a sex offender with local police every 90 days for the rest of his life. Evans was married with children. Question: Has your church conducted the proper Background Investigations on employees and volunteers?
