SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A former director of youth ministry at Fort Leonard Wood has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing four minors, including during the youth group’s ski trips to Colorado and on camping trips.
Forty-two-year-old David McKay, of Waynesville, admitted through the plea he entered Thursday that the abuse happened dozens of times from 2010 to 2017, including at the fort. The four victims ranged in age from 11 to 17.
