A youth pastor at the First Baptist Church in East Bonne Terre is being charged after police say he sexually assaulted a girl at the church.
Brian Cassidy, 33, of Park Hills, was charged with a class A felony of statutory rape in the first degree and a class B felony of child molestation in the first degree, the Daily Journal of Park Hills reported Saturday.
According to a probable cause statement, on Dec. 15 an Children's Advocacy Center interview was conducted with a girl less than 17 years old. During the interview she said she was having a relationship with Cassidy.

Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
