Teen Said He Had Sex With Man At Age 16
ARLINGTON, Va. -- An Arlington County jury has acquitted a former youth minister of charges that he raped a teenage choirboy.
But 29-year-old Antawn McCullum was found guilty of taking indecent liberties with the boy, who was 16 at the time.
McCullum has been in jail since his November arrest on the felony charges.
The two-day trial hinged on the testimony of the victim. He described several occasions when the two had sex about two years ago.
The penalty phase of the trial begins Wednesday. McCullum faces up to five years in prison.
