Local teens play key role in pastor’s arrest on sex charges – Lincoln City Homepage

They say if you see something, say something, so two local teenage boys did something this week that led to Thursday’s arrest of a Lincoln City youth pastor on suspicion of felony sex abuse of a minor.

Lincoln City Police arrested 35-year-old Mitchell Houston Conte, a pastor at Life Change Church, on multiple charges, including two counts of contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor, online sexual corruption of a child, luring a minor, sexual abuse and sodomy.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity the teens described how they became aware of the potential sexual transgressions against a young 15 year old teenage girl through social media.
