A judge sentenced a former church youth group leader on Wednesday to 16 years in prison for sexual abuse of minors, Baltimore County prosecutors said.
Raymond Fernandez, 50, of Nottingham, was a youth group leader at the Greater Grace World Outreach Church. Prosecutors said he sexually abused three young boys between the ages of 12 and 17 on repeated occasions from 1996 to 1998.
Fernandez had been the youth group leader and coach for the victims during the time period that the abuse occurred. One of the victims disclosed the abuse after he saw Fernandez at a church function in June 2013.
The sentence imposed was 30 years with all but 16 years in prison suspended. The defendant will be on five years of supervised probation upon his release and he will be required to register as a sex offender.
