A 28-year-old Montgomery man was sentenced to five years in prison this week for sexually abusing two teenage girls he met at an Oswego church.

Prosecutors said Kevin Freeman, 0-99 block of Shermead Road, met the girls, both 16 years old at the time, through his membership at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, where he was a group leader to one of the victims.

As they were investigating one case, police identified a second victim. The abuse allegedly occurred in late 2010 through 2011, prosecutors said. Freeman was sentenced to two five-year terms for his conviction on two counts of criminal sexual abuse. The sentences will run concurrently.
