A
volunteer youth minister and church choir director has been arrested
after allegations he repeatedly sexually abused a girl during Sunday
school starting when she was 9.
According to reports, 47-year-old William Richardson was caught and arrested after the girl, now 11, told a staff member at her school that he had molested her over a three-year period at the First Baptist Church of Mango, Florida.
The suspect reportedly first molested the girl when she was between 9 and 10.
Nita Allred, the church's Youth Ministries Director, is shocked by the allegations.
"How can it be going on that long and we not know about it," Allred said "Somebody would have said something, but nobody said anything."
Vest Dickerson, wife of the church's pastor, says all the congregation can do at this time is pray.
"I have to trust in God to see us through," Dickerson told the station.
Increased cases of rape. So many Pedophiles.
