Youth pastor Brandon Ernis Lee McDade, left, of Orange County, California, was sentenced to six years in prison this week for sexually assaulting two underage boys, while Daniel O’Connell, a teacher at a Catholic school in Los Angeles was arrested for allegedly possessing child pornography.
According to this report, McDade, 31, pleaded guilty to a count of committing lewd acts on a child younger than 14, two counts of committing lewd acts on a child between 14 and 15, all felonies, and a misdemeanor count of child annoyance.
McDade was also ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. The sentencing was handed down Monday.
McDade was a youth pastor at Grace Hills Church in Aliso Viejo when he met the victims, prosecutors said.
The molesting happened on church grounds and with one of the victims at a movie theater in Orange County.
