Former Church Youth Pastor Who Sexually Assaulted Child To Be Sentenced

PARKER, Colo. (CBS4) - A youth pastor who worked at two different Colorado churches has been scheduled to be sentenced on Friday afternoon for inappropriately touching a teenager.

Christopher Hutchinson, 37, worked at Southeast Christian Church in Parker when he was arrested. In addition to working at that church on the 9600 block of Jordan Road he also worked at South Fellowship Church in Littleton.

Hutchinson was convicted over the summer for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl whom he first met at the Littleton church. The incidents were described as inappropriate touching.

Officials with the Arapahoe County District Attorney's Office said the girl went to Hutchinson seeking help with some difficult things she was going through.

The criminal activity took place at parks in Centennial near the Littleton church, and Hutchinson told the girl to keep what happened a secret.

The DA's office said in a statement they will ask for a prison sentence for Hutchinson.
