A man who worked as a youth leader in a Maplewood church for about 20 years has been charged with sexually abusing a White Bear Lake teen.

Gary Odell Weldon, 65, of White Bear Lake was charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a boy whose family had been close friends with Weldon.

The abuse took place in 1992 when the boy was about 13, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday in Ramsey County District Court.

He is also suspected in a second, more recent, case involving a teen who participated in a church youth trip to Ohio, the complaint said.
