Unfortunately I have had to deal with this issue twice during my pastoral career. I can tell you from my experience, that one should never try to hide this kind of sin. The perpetrator must be reported. The pastor in most states can be subpoenaed, however, he/she is exempt (in most states) from disclosing any information given to him/her under privileged information protection. The law is for the lawless and when a person commits this type of offense they have removed themselves from under the rule of grace. (This does not mean they cannot be restored, but they must face the penalty of their actions.)
