A former Grandville youth pastor could face 15 years in prison if convicted for sexually assaulting a teenage girl, officials said Tuesday.

Former pastor Jeremiah Behrens exploited his position at the Grandville Baptist Church to commit sexual acts on a teenager, officials revealed.

Behrens was arraigned following an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior with a minor. He could face up to 15 years if convicted on charges of second- and fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.

He was released from custody Monday after posting bond.

The Grandville PD is asking that if anyone has any further information on this case to contact Detective Darin Rietman at 616.538.3002 ext. 740
