FREDERICK COUNTY, Md. – A former youth pastor will spend 18 months in jail after pleading guilty to having sex with a minor.

Officials say Shaun Michael Ross worked as a youth pastor at Calvary Assembly Church in Walkersville. He was facing two charges of sexual abuse of a minor following an indictment in July.

The inappropriate relationship between the 33-year-old and the female minor went on for years between April 2008 and April 2010.
