TAZEWELL COUNTY - An unpaid youth pastor at The Rock Church in East Peoria allegedly molested a 17 year old church member, police say.

William Richardson, 33, was arrested Thursday and charged with 2 counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault.

According to an affidavit obtained by WMBD 31 News, the 17 year old girl's father called the Tazewell County Sheriff's Office when he found sexually explicit text messages on the girl's cell phone. The affidavit goes on to say that Richards admitted to meeting the girl in a Wal-Mart parking lot and engaging in sexual conduct with her in his vehicle.

Richards is free on bond. He's due in court next week.
