A former Mt. Lebanon youth pastor will stand trial on charges that he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl he was supposed to mentor.

Channel 11 first reported on Monday that Nicholas Lies, 21, worked at Southminster Church last year when investigators said he was with the teen.

Court paperwork said the sexual abuse started in April of 2016 and continued for five months.

Most of the incidents happened inside Lies’ car at Bird Park, less than a mile from the church.
