ELKHORN–A Walworth County jury has found a former pastor not guilty of failing to report sexual assaults between young boys, clearing the Milton man of the final charges he faced.

Joseph Fultz resigned his position as pastor of the Grace Evangelical Free Church in Walworth when he was charged with five misdemeanor counts of not reporting child abuse in June 2011.

Judges dismissed charges against Fultz on two occasions, and a jury delivered not guilty verdicts April 25 on the two remaining charges.
