Shelby County Sheriff's deputies have arrested the former minister of a Cordova church, accused of molesting a former church member.

Steve Haney

Investigators say the victim, a 21 year-old man, told deputies that 46 year-old Steven Haney, who served as pastor of Walnut Grove Baptist Church for 20 years, abused him at the church and at other locations in the Memphis area from September 2001 through December 2006.

The victim said Haney approached him when he was 15 years-old and became his mentor. The victim said Haney eventually lured him into performing sexual acts inside the church study as well as at other Memphis locations.

Haney is charged with sexual battery by an authority figure.
