A judge disappointed a church congregation Wednesday with his sentence for a former pastor who sexually abused young people.

Brent Girouex, 32, was sentenced to 17 years in prison, but Judge Greg Steensland then suspended the sentence and ordered Girouex to stay at a sex offender treatment facility until "maximum benefit is obtained."

He was initially charged with 61 counts of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist and 28 counts of third-degree sexual abuse related to incidents with several teenagers and young adults at Victory Fellowship Church.

He pleaded guilty in November to one count of third-degree sexual abuse.

The Rev. Lonnie Parton said the victims were disappointed, especially since it was so difficult to come forward.
