A former church deacon accused of sexually abusing two young church members has been indicted.
A Jefferson County grand jury issued the indictments against Collin
Galletly Jr., who was a deacon at McElwain Baptist Church in Birmingham
until the allegations against him surfaced against late last year. He is
charged with two counts of first-degree sex abuse and one count of sex
abuse of a child under the age of 12. Notice of the indictments was made
public Thursday.
Irondale police in June announced the charges against the 69-year-old Galletly. Det.
Sgt. Michael Mangina said the investigation began in November 2017 when
the legal guardian of two girls, ages 9 and 12, filed a report with the
Irondale Police Department claiming the children were inappropriately
touched by a church deacon.
