UPDATE:: Former youth pastor at Mesquite Baptist church gets 4 years for raping teenage studentA Mesquite church staff member accused of an inappropriate sexual relationship with an underage congregant may have additional victims, police say.
A former youth pastor at a conservative Mesquite church accused of raping a teenager for more than a year pleaded guilty Friday in Dallas County to three counts of sexual assault of a child.
Steven Aaron Winn, 34, was sentenced to four years on each count as part of a plea deal, with the prison terms to run concurrently. He had faced up to 20 years behind bars on each count.
He will have to register as a sex offender upon his release.
Larry Winn, 65, of Dallas, who coordinated a bus ministry for members of Open Door Baptist Church who needed a ride to and from worship, is accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl. He was arrested Thursday.
"Due to Winn's level of access to children, investigators believe there may be additional victims," police Lt. Brian Parrish said in a news release.
Days before Larry Winn was arrested, his son Steven Aaron Winn, 33, also a church volunteer, was arrested on a charge of sexually assaulting a different teenage girl at the church.
