A FORMER assistant pastor was sentenced to 16 months’ jail for making a 15-year-old girl from his church perform oral sex on him twice.

Both cannot be identified because of a gag order to protect the identification of the victim but the court heard that in one of those incidents, the offence was committed on church grounds and the other at a park in 2011.

The 46-year-old man, who is married with three children of his own, also faced a third charge of committing an obscene act that was considered during his sentencing.

The accused was in charge of the church’s youth group, and had organised programmes and activities for its younger members.
