A youth pastor in a Wyckoff church has been charged with sexual assault and child endangerment in connection with alleged physical contact and text messages with several teenage girls in a church youth group.
David M. Hayman, 37, of Oradell is charged with two counts of sexual assault in connection with offenses committed in 2014 and 2011, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office said. He also is charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of children in 2003, 2006, twice in 2010 and also in 2013, according to jail records.
Hayman’s arrest Thursday came 10 months after a church representative had first reported inappropriate text messages to authorities, Cornerstone Christian Church senior Pastor Fred Provencher said Friday. Hayman remained in the Bergen County Jail on Friday on $250,000 bail.
