GREEN BAY, Wis. (WLUK) -- A former Green Bay pastor will spend at least 15 years in prison after engaging in an inappropriate online sexual relationship with a minor in Venezuela.

Cory J. Herthel, 40, pleaded guilty in federal court to attempted sexual exploitation of a minor on Thursday.

According to a plea agreement, the church where Herthel worked as a pastor contacted the FBI in May regarding information it had obtained about a potential inappropriate sexual relationship between Herthel and a Venezuelan minor.

An investigation revealed that Herthel had sent the child inappropriate videos of himself, and the child sent similar photos and videos at Herthel's request.

(Paraphrase) I know you mothers care about the safety of your children. You wouldn't leave them in a room by themselves, with a priest. Or you wouldn't let your kids be in a pup tent with a youth minister.
