DES MOINES, Iowa —A former youth pastor charged with sexual abuse and sexual exploitation has changed his plea to guilty, court records filed Tuesday show.
Ryan McKelvey was charged with third-degree sexual abuse and two counts of sexual exploitation by a counselor or clergy.
He initially pleaded not guilty to the charges in September.
Des Moines police said they were contacted by a girl and her parents last August regarding a sexual assault. The girl reported the suspect in the incident was McKelvey.
