A Salina pastor accused of rape, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child made a first appearance Monday in Saline County District Court via closed circuit television.

Birger Draget, 54, is scheduled to appear in court with counsel at 10:30 a.m. Monday.

Draget was suspended Friday from his duties as pastor of Seventh Day Adventist Church in Salina after his arrest.

Draget faces 21 counts of sex-related offenses that authorities allege occurred between October 2006 and September.

Authorities began investigating Draget after a teenage girl reported to police that she had suffered years of sexual abuse, a police department spokesman said Friday.
