State police charged a former United Methodist Church minister with molesting a boy repeatedly over a 10-year period from the time the child was 9 years old to the present.
Norman T. Faux, 54, of 1811 Lake Ariel Highway, Lake Ariel, was discovered when the boy’s girlfriend checked his cellphone and found an obscene text message. In the message, Mr. Faux asked to perform oral sex on the victim, who is now 19.
The girlfriend told her mother, who contacted Wayne County Children and Youth Services. On Friday, the girl’s mother brought the victim in for an interview with caseworkers. He told them Mr. Faux began to assault him when he was 9 years old in 2004, and continued for a decade, most recently a few weeks ago.
When the boy was 11, he began watching pornographic videos as a distraction while Mr. Faux performed oral sex on him. The boy said it happened so many times he couldn’t say how often it occurred.
