The victim who was 14 at the time, according to a criminal complaint, was assaulted at a store-front church Dr. Seen was operating in downtown Spencer in 2012. The youth was not injured during the alleged assault. The victim spoke with Judge Evans, saying "What he done was wrong, but I don't want to see him go to jail."
