Ex-Church Aide Charged With Molesting 2 Boys
A former church youth director was ordered Tuesday to stand trial on charges he molested two teenage boys.
Christopher Fouts, 27, has pleaded not guilty to five felony charges.
The alleged attacks occurred between January and June while Fouts served as the director of Middle School Ministries at Redwood City’s Peninsula Covenant Church, prosecutors said. The victims are ages 13 and 14.
Fouts was fired in June after three years with the church. He remains free on $100,000 bond. If convicted of all counts, he could face up to 13 years in prison.
