Eyewitness News was there as Adam D'Albero of Drums walked into district court near Hazleton to be charged with indecent contact with a 13-year old girl.
   
Detectives say D'Albero met the alleged victim while he was working as a youth ministries director at the Mountain View Community church near White Haven.
 
"There was a youth group at the Mountain View Community Church which brought in youth from all over the area.Then when he opened up his own church Well Spring Life center a lot of the youth group followed him to." said Chief Tom Szoke of White Haven Police Department

    It's at that Wellspring Church that detectives say D'Albero began a one year long relationship between May of 2011 and May of 2012. 

According to arrest affidavits, the girl said D'Albero often kissed her on the lips and touched her in inappropriate places.
    All of this allegedly took place in his office at the church  behind closed doors.

The girl told police it felt like she was dating D'Albero and it seemed normal.
    She told detectives D'Albero broke off the relationship because he could get into very big trouble.
