Former Blanchester pastor pleads guilty to sexual conduct with a minor
Silas Shelton, former pastor of Blanchester Community Ministries (OH), pleaded guilty today to sex crimes against minors ages 13–15, dating to 2019. In 2023 he showed up at a school meeting demanding Scholastic pull “Heartstopper” from the book fair — said the gay teen romance made him “sick.”
WILMINGTON, Ohio — The former pastor of Blanchester Community Church pleaded guilty Monday in Clinton County Common Pleas Court to three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor as part of a negotiated plea agreement reached April 17.
Silas Shelton, 49, of Morrow, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on the three third-degree felony counts, and a menacing by stalking charge was reduced from a fourth-degree felony to a first-degree misdemeanor, Clinton County Prosecutor Brian Shidaker said in court.
As part of the agreement, prosecutors dismissed the remaining charges in the 12-count indictment, which originally included charges of rape, gross sexual imposition, sexual battery and arson.
The case had been scheduled for a five-day jury trial beginning Monday before the plea agreement was reached late last week.
Prosecutors said the charges involve three separate incidents and qualify as third-degree felonies because Shelton was at least 10 years older than the victim.
Each of the three felony counts carries a potential prison term from 12 months to 60 months. Shelton could face a maximum of 15 years in prison if the sentences are imposed consecutively.
The amended misdemeanor charge carries a potential jail term of up to 180 days.
If the court imposes a prison sentence, Shelton would be subject to up to five years of post-release supervision after his release.
Shelton would also be classified as a Tier II sex offender, requiring him to register in person every 180 days for 25 years.
Assistant Prosecutor Andrew Sievers said Shelton knew the victim and her family through their church and his son. Shelton later became a pastor at the church in 2020.
During the summer of 2019, the victim lived in Wilmington with her parents, and Shelton later asked the victim to start working for his construction business.
“He would pick her up most weekdays and return her home on days that typically no one was present,” Sievers said.
Sievers said Shelton engaged in sexual conduct with the victim, who was 14 at the time, beginning in September 2019. The conduct included incidents while returning from a work site, as well as at Cowan Lake and the Holiday Inn at the Roberts Centre, and continued through December 2019, according to the indictment.
