A former youth pastor at Second Baptist Church in Odessa pleaded guilty Tuesday to having sexual relations with an underage girl in 2009.

Under a plea deal, Robert John Weber pleaded guilty to nine counts of sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony that carries a possible maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, and will serve 90 days in jail and 10 years deferred adjudication, Ector County District Attorney Bobby Bland said in a phone interview Wednesday.

Weber also may not serve as a pastor or be near children that aren’t his own without supervision or permission from the child’s parents or guardians, Bland said.
