Pastor Charged With Sexual Abuse
Authorities said a week long investigation ended with the arrest and charges of crimes against a child being filed against Timothy Parker, 40, of Westgate.
Parker is the pastor at the St. Peter Lutheran Church in Westgate.
Authorities said they launched their investigation after a 13-year-old talked about an incident.
Parker is charged with two counts of lascivious acts with a minor and one count of third-degree sexual abuse. The charges could result in 30 years in prison if Parker is convicted.
The Fayette County Computer Crimes Department is reviewing evidence collected during a search of Parker's home.
Parker was taken to the Fayette County Jail and is awaiting his initial court appearance.
