Former Virginia youth pastor pleads guilty to child sex abuse

A former youth pastor from Virginia pleaded guilty on Monday in connection with a child sex abuse case involving a teen from his church.

Jordan Baird pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent liberties with a minor by a person in a position of trust for molesting a 16-year-old girl from the Life Church in 2014.

Baird is looking at up to 10 years in prison and will be sentenced in May.

A jury convicted Baird last year for sexually abusing a different 16-year-old from the church.

Baird served less than a year behind bars for the first offense, and had to register as a sex offender.
