A Warren pastor, charged with molesting a teen, was arraigned today on additional charges, according to the Warren Police Department.

The Rev. Christopher Scott Settlemoir, 26, was charged today in Warren's 37th District Court with accosting a child for immoral purpose. Two more juveniles, according to a news release, have come forward.

Settlemoir, a pastor at Antioch Baptist Church, is already charged with two counts each of first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly engaging in sex acts with a 15-year-old boy between Feb. 1 and June 4 at the church and his home.

According to today's news release, Settlemoir was arraigned on the new charges after his preliminary examination on the original charges was adjourned. Police said he'll be back in court July 22 for a preliminary examination on all of the charges.

Last week, the Free Press reported Settlemoir was put on paid administrative leave at the church.

According to police, Settlemoir is being held in the Macomb County Jail on a $1-million bond from the original charges. Today, he was given a $100,000 cash surety bond on the new charges.
