A man who was in charge of a church’s youth ministry was convicted on sexual abuse charges Wednesday.
A jury found Shawn Flickinger, 29, of 1100 Watson St., North Lebanon Township, guilty of sexual abuse of a child, unlawful contact or communication with a minor, criminal solicitation — sexual abuse of a child and corruption of minors.
Flickinger was found not guilty of the most serious charge, aggravated indecent assault without consent, which would have called for a mandatory five years in state prison. He was also found guilty of indecent assault, indecent exposure and open lewdness.
According to court records, the incidents occurred on North Water Street and Winchester Circle in North Lebanon between September 2010 and August 2012. The victim was under 16.
President Judge John Tylwalk scheduled sentencing for March 26.
