Former Bergen Youth Pastor Sentenced To 6 Years For Teen Sex Abuse, Report Says

A former church youth pastor was sentenced to six years in prison Friday for sexually-explicit charges involving teenage girls, NorthJersey.com reported.

David Hayman, 38, of Oradell, was charged with engaging in inappropriate sexual activity and exchanging sexual explicit videos on several occasions with two 16-year-old girls, then-Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said when Hayman was arrested in March 2015.

Hayman, a married father of three, had inappropriate relationships with at least five girls at Cornerstone Christian Church in Wyckoff, the report said. Hayman worked at the church for about 10 years.

One victim said in court that knowing Hayman, "has been the most negative experience of my life," according to the report.

Hayman was originally charged with two counts of sexual assault and five counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

Hayman plead guilty June 9 to sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child by sexual conduct. In addition to the prison term, he must register as a sex offender under Megan's Law and may not have contact with the victims. He will be under parole supervision for the remainder of his life, the report said.
