A rural Neosho man identifying himself as a self-anointed pastor was arrested Tuesday afternoon after authorities allegedly found photographs of a nude juvenile female, according to the Newton County Sheriff’s Department.
Authorities are withholding the suspect’s name pending the filing of charges, although they did say the arrest of the 49-year-old man followed the serving of a search warrant of Garages and More, 11285 Mulberry Road. Authorities also confiscated the several photographs of the nude juvenile female at the “Acts 2” church located on the same property.
Charges are expected to be filed later today by the Newton County Prosecutor. Authorities were acting on information from a young woman who alleged that she had been abused by her pastor for the past several years.
