A former Delaware County pastor who pleaded guilty to charges that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl at his church was sentenced Monday to eight years in prison.


Brian Williams, the former head pastor at Sunbury Grace Brethren Church, told the girl she wasn't to blame for what happened. He also apologized to his congregation.

"When that openness and that trust is violated in this most intimate and most-personal kind of way, it's an especially egregious offense," said Delaware County Prosecutor Dave Yost.

Williams pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery in June.

Investigators say Williams forced the girl to perform oral sex in his church office.
