Former Pastor Gets Probation In Sex Assault

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - A former Colorado Springs pastor has been sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to having a three-year sexual relationship with a troubled teenage girl.

Under a plea agreement, 37-year-old Eric Caverly won't face prison time for sex assaults that began when the girl was 15 years old.

According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, an additional count alleging that Caverly sexually abused a second girl while serving at Springs Community Church was dismissed.
