UPDATE:: Former Pasco pastor sentenced for attempted rape of a childA former pastor and youth mentor could spend at least five years in prison for admitting he tried to have sex with a teen boy after posting an online ad.
A Tri-Cities father and former pastor entangled in a child sex sting has been sentenced to nearly five years in prison.
The Tri-City Herald reports 41-year-old John M. Scheline was ordered Wednesday to serve a mandatory minimum sentence of 58 months after pleading guilty this summer to attempted second-degree rape of a child.
The sex crime carries a mandatory maximum life term, meaning it will be up to a state review to decide how long Scheline will stay behind bars.
John M. Scheline, 41, pleaded guilty in Benton County Superior Court to attempted second-degree rape of a child.
The plea comes just a week shy of the one-year anniversary of Scheline and 25 other men being swept up in the Tri-Cities "Net Nanny Operation."
