Police: Man Was Counseling Girl To Abstain From Sex
TRUMBULL, Conn. -- Police have arrested a youth adviser accused of sexually assaulting a Trumbull girl being counseled to abstain from sex.

Vernitt Hoheb, 31, of Stratford surrendered Monday. He had been a youth counselor at Mount Aery Baptist Church in Bridgeport until the allegations were made against him.

Trumbull police said Hoheb supervised a youth group at the church. The 16-year-old girl claims Hoheb sexually assaulted her in his car in a parking lot behind a Trumbull gym where he had stopped while driving her home in March.

Hoheb allegedly said he had been counseling teenage girls, including the victim, on how to say "no" to sexual advances from adults.
