MANSFIELD, Ohio — A former youth pastor was found guilty on Friday of dozens of sex charges.
The jury deliberated for about four hours before reaching their verdict against John Picard, 10TV's Andy Hirsch reported.
Picard was on trial for using his position as a youth pastor at Grace Brethren Church, to manipulate six church members into sexual relationships. Some of the acts occurred when the children were under 18 years old.
Picard's sentencing will come at a later date, Hirsch reported.
He faces a sentence of more than 200 years in prison.
