Cannel, 45, resigned from the church in March 2005 after being arrested. Cannel had used a computer to trade child pornography and to try to arrange sex with a detective posing as a 12-year-old boy.<\/p>\n<p>Cannel worked at Selah Covenant for four months prior to being arrested at the church. Church leaders immediately suspended Cannel who resigned days later.<\/p>\n<p>He previously had worked at the Union Gospel Mission in Yakima. A spokesman for the mission said Cannel had a long history of being involved in youth activities and camps, but officials said they never suspected any problems.<\/p>\n<p>Although U.S. District Judge Edward Shea did not sentence Cannel to the eight years the prosecutors wanted, the sentence was more severe than the one-year term the defense had sought.<\/p>\n<p>Cannel will have to register as a sex offender and undergo sex-offender treatment. He will also be placed on three years of probation following his release from prison.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>Copyright \u00a9 2011 The Evangelical Covenant Church.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/newswire?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=6992&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YAKIMA, WA (October 19, 2006) \u2013 A former youth pastor at Selah Covenant Church was sentenced earlier this week to six years in prison for possessing child pornography.
