Tyree Coleman

Former Youth Minister Convicted Of Sexual Misconduct With Minor

Man Admitted Sex With Teen

POSTED: 6:41 am EDT October 1, 2008

A jury returned a guilty verdict late Tuesday for a former youth minister who had been accused of sexual misconduct with a minor.

A Marion County jury deliberated for four hours before finding Tyree Coleman, 29, guilty.

A 15-year-old boy said Coleman forced himself on him as he spent the night at Temple of Refuge Church in 2006.

Coleman claimed that the teen initiated the encounter and that he thought the boy was of legal age.

Years ago, Coleman was considered a bright leader in the community.

Earlier this year, Coleman's bond was revoked when a judge determined that he had listed an abandoned home as his address.
