A former South Dakota pastor has been sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to having sex with a minor while employed by a Canton church.

Tony Haglund was sentenced on Friday on one count of felony child abuse. He was originally charged with three counts of sexual penetration by a psychotherapist, sexual contact with a child under 16 and sexual contact by a psychotherapist.

He was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine or up to that amount restitution to the family.

Haglund was arrested on Oct. 6 in Sumter County, Fla., last year where he worked as a real estate agent.
