The St. Clair County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate a former volunteer with connections to an area youth ministry after a second round of sexual assault charges were leveled against him on Aug. 21.

Terrance Jenkins, 36, of East St. Louis, was charged in connection with the August 2006 sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. The most recent charges come on the heels of a July 23 arrest of Jenkins for the alleged sexual abuse of a 7-year-old girl in December 2007.

"Any time you have allegations of two separate incidents involving criminal sexual assault, it's natural to investigate further to see if there are additional incidents," said Capt. Steve Johnson of the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department. "Right now, our investigation is ongoing. I can't say much more than that. I'm not allowed to comment on evidence nor can I say more about the victims."Investigation into the latest allegations began shortly after a complaint was filed with the Sheriff's Department in December 2006.
