UPDATE:: Former Baptist missionary pleads guilty in indecency caseA Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary graduate who recently resigned from the South Carolina Baptist Convention has been charged with sexually assaulting a teenager in Arlington more than two decades ago.
A former top Southern Baptist missionary pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor assault causing bodily injury in a case that his missionary organization knew about nearly 11 years before it was reported to police.
Mark Aderholt was charged in Tarrant County in July 2018 with sexual assault of a child under 17 and two counts of indecency with a child by contact in the assault of Anne Marie Miller, who went public with her story in July 2018.Aderholt entered his plea barely a month after the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting in Birmingham, Ala. The meeting was dominated by discussions of reforms relating to sexual abuse after a Houston Chronicle investigation revealed a widespread pattern of sexual misconduct in Southern Baptist churches.
Mark Edwin Aderholt, 46, was arrested on July 3 in South Carolina on a warrant issued in the Tarrant County case and later released on bond.
On Monday evening, he was booked into the Tarrant County Jail, according to jail records. He was released Tuesday morning after posting a $10,000 bond.
