HONESDALE – A former pastor was sentenced Monday to 27 months to 15 years in state prison on sex abuse charges.
Norman Theodore Faux, 55, of Lake Ariel, also was ordered to pay up to $5,000 in counseling fees for the victim.
The defendant, who had served as a United Methodist pastor, previously pleaded guilty to having sexual intercourse on several occasions with a male juvenile.
The assaults started when the boy was 9 years old and lasted until he was 19, according to court paperwork.
The lead prosecutor, Wayne County First Assistant District Attorney said in a statement Faux “perverted his role as a father and as a clergyman” and he belongs in state prison.
