KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A former church youth director pleaded guilty in federal court on Monday to porn charges and taking a minor across state lines for illegal sexual activity.
Dennis Myers, 53, of Blue Springs, was indicted in February. Under the terms of the plea agreement, Myers must plead guilty to charges of statutory sodomy in the first degree.
Prosecutors say in the 1990s, Myers met a 16-year-old girl when he was youth director at the First United Methodist Church in Springdale. Myers left the church to open his own DJ business and was training the girl, then 15-years old, to assist him in the business. He admitted that the two were engaging in some sexual activity at that time.
From November 1994 to November 1995, when the girl was 16-years old, Myers took her from Arkansas to Kansas City, Mo. where they had sexual intercourse.
