Jason Phillips

LEWISTOWN

A man convicted of criminal sexual abuse who now faces charges of violating sex offender registry terms received another continuance Monday morning.

Jason Phillips of Glasford was arrested Aug. 6 for being present on the property of a child care facility. The 41-year-old is alleged to have committed this offense, a Class 4 felony, on four separate occasions.

In Fulton County Court Monday, Phillips was scheduled for a new pretrial date of Jan. 4 at 9 a.m.

He was convicted of criminal sexual abuse of a then-minor in 2011.

At the time of his crime, Phillips was a youth pastor and associate pastor at Covenant Community Fellowship Church.

He was sentenced to four years in prison and was released from the Illinois Department of Corrections earlier this year.

Phillips remains in custody at IDOC on a parole violation and is expected to go in front of the parole board this month.
