A Chesterfield man who volunteered as a youth pastor in a Colonial Heights church was sentenced April 25 on several charges stemming from his sexual abuse of several teens in his youth group.
Jeffrey Dale Clark, 47, appeared in Colonial Heights Circuit Court and Chesterfield Circuit Court on Monday, entering into a plea deal which led to a sentencing of a total of 25 years in prison.
The volunteer youth pastor was accused of sexual assaulting several boys from the youth group where he volunteered during a time period which spanned from 2010 until 2015, when the abuse came to light.
Clark was a volunteer youth pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Colonial Heights, where he had been going for a period of five years before leaving after the allegations of abuse were brought against him.
