David J. Troup, 39, of Frog Hollow Road, Painted Post, pleaded guilty Monday to all charges in a Jan. 18 indictment. The most serious charge, first degree course of conduct against a child, carries a maximum sentence of 5 to 25 years in state prison. Troup, former pastor of the Borden Baptist Church in the town of Woodhull, will be sentenced at 9:30 a.m. May 21 by Judge Marianne Furfure. State Police arrested Troup in October following a report from the New York Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment. They identified the victims as two boys younger than 11 years old and said the incident occurred in the town of Woodhull in July 2005. Other charges to which Troup pleaded guilty Monday: - Second degree course of sexual conduct against a child. - Two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. - Three counts of second-degree sexual abuse. The indictment said Troup, between June 2005 and January 2006, engaged in two or more sexual acts with a child under the age of 13, including at least one act of oral sex. He was also accused of subjecting a person less than 14 years old to sexual contact in August and September 2006. The charges of second-degree sexual abuse are punishable by up to 7 years in prison. Troup, in addition to his role as a pastor, was a former employee of the Steuben County Social Services Department.
