A former pastor and youth group director has been charged with unlawful contact with a child.
White Haven police charged Adam D’Albero, 34, Beech Mountain Lakes, Drums, with corruption of minors and unlawful contact with a minor, both third-degree felonies. He was also charged with indecent assault of a person younger than 16, a second-degree misdemeanor.
D’Albero once served as director of an inter-congregational youth group at Mountainview Community Free Methodist Church in White Haven. Youth group members followed him when he later formed his own congregation, Wellspring Life Center, which is now closed, White Haven Police Chief Tom Szoke said.
The alleged offenses took place between May 2011 and May 2012 when the victim, who was a youth group member, was 12 to 13 years old, Szoke said.
