The concerned family member of a
victim of sexual assault has come forward after the former pastor of the
Mtn. View Assembly of God Church was arrested on child molestation
charges.
The family member
said she wants to let the public and other church members know this
isn’t the first time a church member has been accused of sexual crimes
against children.
Gregory Scott
Reese, 45, of Birch Tree, was arrested March 4 and released on $100,000
bail. The investigation began on Feb. 12 when a juvenile told an adult
relative that Reese had been touching her in a sexual manner. The next
day, the girl told a school counselor the same thing, according to
reports filed by Shannon County Deputy Keith Rader.
In
an interview with a children’s division investigator, the alleged
victim said during the incidents Reese touched her in a sexual manner
and initiated other types of sexual contact on 10 to 15 occasions,
according to Rader.
