ELIZABETHTOWN, KY (AP) - The pastor of a central Kentucky church has been charged with five counts of sexual abuse.

Kentucky State Police said 57-year-old Marion Barnes of Ekron was released from jail after being booked earlier this week on charges involving a female teenager.

The News-Enterprise in Elizabethtown reported Barnes is senior pastor of Glad Tidings Christian Center in Brandenburg.

KSP spokesman Bruce Reeves said Barnes' accuser said she was abused beginning when she was 15 and that she is now 18. She went to police Monday morning and Barnes was arrested that night on three counts of first-degree sex abuse and two counts of third-degree sex abuse.
