UPDATED: 3:46 pm EST November 6, 2009

A former youth pastor at a Parma church was indicted Friday in connection with the sexual assaults of two teens who attended the church.

Joshua O'Bannion, 25, was indicted on four counts of sexually battery and three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

Police said that between January and December 2008, O'Bannion sexually assaulted a 14-year-old female and a 15-year-old female in and outside of First United Pentecostal Church.

The alleged victims came forward after O'Bannion was arrested in September in Arizona in connection with the sexual assault of a 14-year-old female who attended a church in Tempe, Arizona where O'Bannion was working as a youth pastor.

Arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 19.
