Former Vincennes Youth Pastor Sentenced For Child Molesting

Last updated on Monday, September 21, 2015

(VINCENNES) - A former Vincennes youth pastor is sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to child molesting charges.

Police arrested Duke Hampsch last year after a victim's family told them the youth pastor engaged in sex acts with an underage victim in 2009 and again in 2010.

The six-year sentence received in Knox County will be served consecutive to a sentence handed down in Madison County, Indiana.

Court documents say the first sexual encounters occurred during church retreats in Vincennes and Anderson, Indiana prior to the victim's 14th birthday.

In May, Hampsch was sentenced to 20 years in prison on a felony charge of Sexual Misconduct With a Minor in Madison County.
