A Lower Burrell man is charged with forcing a teenager to have sex with him.

Daniel Allen Jack, 31, of Toledo Drive, faces rape and seven other charges including sexual assault by an employee of a nonprofit organization.

State police allege Jack met the girl, then 16, at the Amplify Church in Plum, where Jack was serving as a youth group leader and, later, as a youth pastor. He was fired from that position when the allegations against him came to light.

Jack also was a technology employee at Kiski Area School District. Officials there said none of the alleged activity happened at the school or during a school event. Jack is on administrative leave without pay from the school district.

At a special school board hearing Wednesday night, Jack could be fired, said Superintendent John Meighan. The girl was not a student at Kiski.
