The director of a South Side music choir was indicted Thursday for allegedly molesting a 16-year-old female choir member.

Brian Scott, in his 30s, of the 1700 block of West 95th Place, was indicted on eight counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, Cook County State's Attorney's office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said. Scott is slated for arraignment on Sept. 7.

Scott, the director of the Rebirth of Liberty Choir, who also plays keyboards in the choir, ran auditions. After the teen landed a spot on the choir, Scott abused her on three occasions in Chicago -- in a park, in the basement of a church and in Scott's apartment, according to a court proffer.

He assaulted the girl by rubbing his penis outside her clothing and on the third occasion, ejaculated in his pants, the proffer alleges.

The girl told her parents and Scott admitted the abuse to her mother and father, and to his manager, according to prosecutors.

Scott's bond was set earlier this month at $90,000.
