The pastor at the First Assembly of God church in southern Missouri’s Mountain View has been charged with alleged sexual abuse of a teenage girl. Online court records indicate 45-year-old Gregory Reese was charged Sunday with alleged child molestation and three counts of statutory sodomy.
A probable cause statement in the case says that a 14-year-old girl reported to authorities in February that Reese had sexual contact with her.
Reese reportedly admitted to having oral sex with the girl at his Shannon County home after a polygraph test. He was fired from the church when criminal charges were filed.
Reese posted bond and is scheduled to appear in court April 23.
