DALLAS (AP) — A 37-year-old former minister at a North Texas church faces up to life in prison for luring a girl in his youth group into having sex with him.
Derek Hutter pleaded guilty Wednesday to enticement of a minor in the case involving a 13-year-old girl.
Hutter, who was arrested last fall, remains in custody pending sentencing by a federal judge in Dallas.
Authorities say Hutter was a youth pastor at South Garland Baptist Church and married when he began an online and cellphone relationship with the teen.
