The Brooklyn district attorney says a minister has been convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl.
DA Charles Hynes on Thursday announced the conviction of Dieuvais Surin, a pastor in the Original Church of God of Prophesy.
Surin could face up to 56 years in prison when he is sentenced on July 9.
The child, who attended Surin's church, was abused in 1998 and 1999. Sometimes, he waited outside her school and then abused her in his van.
Surin, who is 72, was convicted on 13 counts of criminal sex act and nine counts of sexual abuse.

If he’s guilty, nail him.
“If he’s guilty, nail him.”
Sounds like a plan to me. I got a machinists hammer and some 60d nails ready for him.

In a surprise move, Portland Archbishop John G. Vlazny today released 2,000 pages of documents on priests accused of sexually abusing Oregon children.....(snip)
Bud Bunce, a spokesman for the Archdiocese, said the release had nothing to do with Pope Benedict XVI's trip to the United States or his apology for church's sex abuse scandal.
Portland attorneys who have filed sex abuse suits against the Archdiocese expressed bafflement over the unscheduled release, which comes less than 2 weeks after one round of failed mediation and a day before another is set to start.
"I don't know how the Archdiocese thinks," said attorney Kelly Clark. "I just don't get it."
