Baptist youth minister skips court date on sexual assault

A Bridgeport, Conn. church youth advisor, charged with assaulting a 16-year-old girl he was counseling about sexual abstinence last May, has skipped out on his court date. The victim was a member of the People Learning Under God group according to Deputy Police Chief Michael Harry. 31 year-old youth pastor, Vernitt Hoheb, gave the victim a ride home after a PLUG meeting and drove to a deserted back parking lot of a fitness gym where he assaulted the girl. The court has ordered the former youth minister of the Mt. Aery Baptist Church to be rearrested.
