The victim, now 24, came to investigators and reported the abuse after she learned Cormack was to be ordained to serve as a chaplain at Kansas State University, according to a news release from the Douglas County District Attorney's office. The victim told investigators she was concerned Cormack would have access to minors in that role.
While Cormack's defense attorney did not deny his client had a sexual relationship with the victim, he claimed it was after she was 16, the legal age of consent, according to the news
release.
Cormack now lives in Billings, Mont.
He will be sentenced in November.
