HOMESTEAD, Pa. (AP) — The founder and ex-pastor of a suburban Pittsburgh church has pleaded guilty of molesting a 15-year-old boy during a counseling session in 2002.

The Rev. Duane Youngblood of the Higher Call World Outreach Church in Homestead will spend a year on intermediate punishment as part of a seven-year probation sentence.

Youngblood on Monday pleaded guilty to a single count of sexual assault.

Police say Youngblood molested the boy after his mother sent him to Youngblood for counseling over previous sexual abuse.

Youngblood didn't comment after court.
