A former Bethlehem pastor pleaded guilty today to systematically sexually abusing a girl beginning when she was 12-years-old, continuing into adulthood and resulting in a son, according to this story in The Morning Call.

Santos Rosado pleaded guilty to two counts of statutory sexual assault and one each of indecent assault, corrupting a minor, and endangering the welfare of a child. He faces up to 35 years in prison.

As part of his agreement with prosecutors, Rosado was forced to renounce his parental rights of the 10-year-old child his assaults produced with his victim. His sentencing is scheduled in December.
