A 35 year-old youth pastor has been arrested by Forsyth County Sheriff's Office investigators and charged with child molestation, Sheriff Ted Paxton said today.

Phillip Glenn Terrell, of 5122 Timberline Trail in Flower Branch was arrested Friday and faces two counts of Aggravated Child Molestation, two counts of Enticing a Child for Indecent Purposes and one count of Cruelty to Children, the sheriff said.

According to Forsyth County Sheriff's Office Investigator Jonathan Neville, the case developed when a juvenile male victim disclosed to his parents last week that he had been molested by Terrell. A forensic interview was conducted with the juvenile and this led to the arrest of Terrell on the charges listed above.
