DES MOINES (AP) ? Trial has been set for a former Des Moines youth pastor accused of sexually abusing two teenage girls.
Online court records indicate 27-year-old Ryan McKelvey?s trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 18.
McKelvey is a former youth pastor at Heritage Assembly Church in Des Moines. Officers began investigating him after a girl and her parents reported in early August an alleged sexual assault by McKelvey.
The investigation led to a possible second victim, who also told police about other incidents. McKelvey was fired from his job before he was arrested.
McKelvey faces two counts of sexual exploitation by a clergy and two counts of third-degree sexual abuse. He remains at the Polk County Jail. Court records do not list an attorney.
