A former youth minister at a Tucson church was convicted Wednesday of molesting a teenage girl over the course of a year. Christopher Scott Decaire will be sentenced Sept. 18 in Pima County Superior Court and is facing more than 50 years in prison. Jurors
convicted Decaire on six of the eight molestation and sexual conduct
charges and acquitted him of two counts of sexual conduct after
deliberating nearly eight hours over two days. The victim was 13
at the time of the molestation. She now is 15 and testified last week
that Decaire molested her between January 2007 and January 2008. Authorities say Decaire met the girl through his position as youth minister at the East Tucson Baptist Church. Prosecutors say DNA tests proved that semen found on the girl's jacket was Decaire's.
