Posted

MILFORD, PA — Norman Theodore Faux, age 55, of Lake Ariel, pled guilty on April 30 to one count of incest and one count of corruption of a minor. The incidents occurred during the period of January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012 at the defendant’s home in Lake Ariel. At the guilty plea hearing, Faux admitted to performing oral sex on the victim, who was less than 18 years old at the time. The defendant used to be a United Methodist pastor in Lake Ariel and before that was a pastor in Lackawanna County.

Faux faces a maximum penalty of up to 15 years in prison and up to a $35,000 fine. He will be required to register under Megan’s Law for the rest of his life.

He will be sentenced on July 27 at 9 a.m. at the Wayne County Courthouse. District Attorney Janine Edwards declined any further comment at this time until after the sentencing.
