William Henry Randall, the retired pastor of an Orange Park church,
was arrested early Friday morning at his Fleming Island home and charged
with sexual battery on a child.
Randall, 73, of St. Simon Baptist Church,
was released from the Clay County jail after posting $25,000 bond on a
felony custodial sexual battery charge.
According to Randall's arrest
warrant, the victim came forward in September 2015, saying the pastor
had been molesting and raping her since she began attending the church
in 2007.
The victim, described as between the ages of
12 and 18, told investigators the assaults took place on church
property after services and during the week when came by to do work
around the property.
Clay County pastor accused of sexual battery of child
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.
