ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) -- A pastor who taught at a Christian school in southern Utah has been sentenced to two years in jail for two counts of attempted sexual abuse of an 11-year-old girl.
Gabriel Carlin, 35, operated the East Harbor Christian Academy.
Carlin was charged in 2006 with four counts of aggravated child sex abuse. In a plea deal the charges were dropped to two counts of attempted sexual abuse of a child.
The girl attended the school and Carlin also knew her and her family through the Living Faith Community Church. She is now 14.
Fifth District Judge Eric Ludlow on Tuesday sentenced Carlin to two consecutive years in the Purgatory Correctional Facility and ordered three years of probation.
