The youth pastor who has plead guilty to transporting a a teenage girl across state lines with sexual intent will return to court today.
William David Webb was youth pastor at "Word of Life Christian Center" in March and April of 2004 when the incident occurred.
Webb entered a guilty plea during his federal trial before Judge Scott Coogler in May. At the time Webb's attorney Tommy Spina told CBS 42 that he expects Webb to recieve a minimum sentence.
The maximum punishment for the offense in the federal system is 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
But the plea deal, if accepted by Judge Coogler, cuts the penalty to the minimum.
Webb would serve just five years in federal prison, pay $450 in restitution, cover $5,000 in counseling for the victim, and require Webb pay a federal fine which will be set by the Judge.
The official sentence will handed down by Coogler during a hearing set for 10:30am at the Hugo Black Federal Courthouse in downtown Birmingham.
