A Winter Haven-area pastor was arrested Thursday and is facing charges of sexual battery on a victim under 12, and Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said there could be more victims.
David Cooper, pastor of the Mountain Movers Ministries in Eloise, is also charged with lewd and lascivious exhibition. Both charges are felonies.
In a news conference Friday morning, Judd said Cooper’s wife brought a child under the age of 12 to a hospital to determine if the child had been sexually assaulted. The hospital notified the sheriff’s office, which started an investigation. According to WFLA News Channel 8, the investigation began in September 2017.
