HACKENSACK -- A former pastor at a Wyckoff church has been sentenced to six years in prison for sexually assaulting teenage girls in a youth group, NorthJersey.com reports.
David Hayman, 38, was arrested in March of last year. Hayman was charged with two counts of sexual assault and five counts of child endangerment.
Authorities said Hayman exchanged videos with two 16-year-old girls in the youth group and texted explicit messages to two others, one who was 15-years-old and another who was 16 at the time.
"All of the victims were members of a church youth group, of which Hayman was the pastor and for whom he had direct supervisory responsibility," Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said in a statement last year.
Hayman was dismissed from Cornerstone Christian Church in 2014 when the allegations were reported.
