Youth pastor fired

Pastor Ed Lehman, the senior pastor at Hillcrest Baptist Church, fired his youth pastor after allegation surfaced suggesting a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. The youth pastor admitted to the affair. News reports have not released a name. The youth pastor was also a part time football coach at a local high school. He was busted by technology (or stupidity).

The man had been a youth pastor for four years at Hillcrest Baptist Church in Sultan. Church officials said the man came to them Aug. 31 and confessed after sending an “inappropriate” text message to his wife that he intended for the girl.

I want a name. Does anybody know this guys name? If so, post it in the comments.

Update: A woman who was sexually exploited for nearly a year by Sultan High School assistant coach Randall Floyd Boyce McElveen, who was sentenced to prison for the crime, sued the Sultan School District for not doing an adequate background check on the man before hiring him.
