Hillsboro police arrested a youth minister in the sexual abuse of two boys at the church where he worked.
Officers took Dylan Ritterman into custody on Thursday on more than a dozen counts of sex abuse charges.
Police told Fox 12 there are at least two victims who Ritterman allegedly abused in the basement of the Bethel United Pentecostal Church in downtown Hillsboro.
The allegations were reported to police by the mother of one of the victims, who is now 18. She told police that Ritterman touched her son inappropriately in 2009 and 2010, when the boy was 14 and 15 years old, respectively. Police said the suspect would also drive the victim home occasionally.
