LAWRENCE, Kan. -- A former Lawrence youth group leader was found guilty of indecent liberties with a child on Monday.

Christopher Cormack, 38, was found guilty of having a relationship with a girl when she was 13 years old. The two met when he served as youth pastor at a Lawrence church.

The victim, now 24, came to investigators and reported the abuse after she learned Cormack was to be ordained to serve as a chaplain at Kansas State University, according to a news release from the Douglas County District Attorney's office. The victim told investigators she was concerned Cormack would have access to minors in that role.

While Cormack's defense attorney did not deny his client had a sexual relationship with the victim, he claimed it was after she was 16, the legal age of consent, according to the news release.

Cormack now lives in Billings, Mont.

He will be sentenced in November.
