Texas minister Brian Keith Pounds allegedly gave a 15-year-old girl meth and sexually assaulted her, according to authorities.
The Vernon Police Department first responded to reports of an underage girl, identified as Jane Doe, with Pounds, 45, at a motel on July 1, police said in a Facebook post Monday explaining the department's investigation.
Pounds told a Vernon police officer he was a minister at the First Assembly of God Church and was getting a room at the motel for a person in need, according to an affidavit reviewed by Fox News.
Jane Doe's mother found Jane Doe at a Walmart that same day, north of the motel, and brought her to police, authorities said. Jane Doe then told police she had been having sexual intercourse with Pounds, whom she said had been counseling her and her family through the church, for about a month and smoking meth in the motel room, according to the affidavit.
"Pounds had been in the grooming process by getting Jane Doe a job cleaning houses for elderly people," the affidavit reads. "Pounds then began to meet Jane Doe at his Church located… in Vernon. Pounds started offering Jane Doe methamphetamine at the church. Pounds continued to meet Jane Doe at the church for what Jane Doe described as counseling."
Some minister! I wonder if he found God while doing time? I hope they throw the book at him.[/quote]
Same here.
If I remember correctly, Assembly of God churches are Pentecostal, aren't they? If I'm remembering right, they're also pretty strict.
But apparently, he's not strict on himself.
Yes, they are ultra-conservative and forbid almost everything. Yet, they are involved with numerous scandels throughout the years. Off the top of my head, there is the Jimmy Swaggart scandal that cost him his church and ordination in the Assemblies. This incident also involved sex.
