BURLINGTON - Pastor Richard Hogg, former spiritual life coordinator for the Burlington United Methodist Family Services, has pled guilty in Mineral County Circuit Court to one felony count of sexual abuse of a minor by a parent, guardian, or custodian.

The incident occurred when Hogg was employed by Burlington United Methodist Family Services.

According to Mineral County prosecuting attorney Cody Pancake, Hogg was originally charged with two similar counts involving a minor following an investigation led by the West Virginia State Police.

Pancake said Hogg was not indicted by the Mineral County Grand Jury, but instead chose to plead to the information in front of a judge.
