OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A former Bethany child pastor is sentenced to 35 years in prison for molesting children in his church.

27 year-old Ryan Martin Wonderly was the youth minister at Bethany First Church of the Nazarene.

Oklahoma County prosecutors say Wonderly inappropriately touched five girls, ages 7 to 11, between 1997 and 2000. He left the church in February 2003.

Wonderly must serve 85 percent of his 35-year sentence before he's eligible for parole.
