A former Grandville youth pastor could face 15 years in prison if convicted for sexually assaulting a teenage girl, officials said Tuesday.

Former pastor Jeremiah Behrens exploited his position at the Grandville Baptist Church to commit sexual acts on a teenager, officials revealed.

Behrens was arraigned following an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior with a minor. He could face up to 15 years if convicted on charges of second- and fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.
