PAXTON -- A former Gibson City minister accused of molesting a woman for more than six years was convicted Friday in a Ford County jury trial.
The Rev. Danny Hill, 54, of 614 S. Lott Blvd., former pastor of First Baptist Church, Gibson City, was convicted of two counts of criminal sexual assault.
He faces four to 15 years in prison and up to a $25,000 fine for each count when he is sentenced Sept. 26.
Jurors heard recordings police made of telephone calls between the victim, now 22, and Hill. In the calls, she confronted Hill and he appeared to admit his guilt.
