February 24, 2010 Youth minister commits suicide after guilty plea www.privateofficer.com
Troopers said a former youth minister who pleaded guilty on sex charges killed himself hours after the verdict.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Christopher Evans, 39, shot himself in the head at East Fork Lake State Park. Evans had been a youth pastor at the Saltair Church of Christ since November 2007.
A Clermont County sheriff’s deputy found Evans in a vehicle in a visitor parking lot off Slade Road late Monday.
Evans pleaded guilty to charges of sexual battery and unlawful sexual conduct of a 15-year-old girl on Monday. He faced up to 50 years in prison when he was to be sentenced in late April.
Evans was charged with the crime in December.
