An Aurora man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a teen girl at the church in North Aurora where he was pastor.

Ralphael J. Robinson, 41, the former leader of Kingdom Church in North Aurora, was arrested in April 2016 and pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Robinson, of the 1700 block of Felten Road, was also charged with failing to notify authorities of a change of address as part of his lifetime sex offender registration requirements.

Indictment claims North Aurora pastor 'begged' for sex from teen girl - Aurora Beacon-News

A three-count indictment issued against the pastor of a North Aurora church includes an allegation that the 39-year-old "begged" to have sex with the teen girl he has been accused of sexually assaulting.

Ralphael Robinson "grabbed (the girl) by the wrist ... and begged her to have sex with him," the indictment states in connection to the charge of attempted aggravated criminal sexual abuse, which was added to single counts of criminal sexual assault and sex abuse on which Robinson was arrested in April.

Authorities have said Robinson fondled and inappropriately touched the teen girl, who later confronted him about the incident April 18 at Kingdom Church on South Lincolnway Street. Robinson, a registered sex offender, remains held in Kane County Jail on $107,500 bond. He appeared in Kane County Court Thursday for a hearing during which his arraignment was scheduled for July 14.
