MANISTIQUE, MI-- The former pastor of the New Life Baptist Church in Manistique has been sentenced on criminal sexual conduct charges.
Sixty-four-year-old Keith Swartz—now living in Arizona—was charged with two counts of fourth-degree CSC in connection with the 1996 incidents involving a juvenile.
Thursday he was given a 12-month delay of sentence for the first count and 90 days in jail on the second. Twenty-eight days are to be served immediately in the Schoolcraft County Jail.
Swartz pleaded no contest to the charges. As a result his name will not appear on the National Sex Offender Registry.
