A new lawsuit accuses officials at a North Charleston church of knowing that its pastor was sexually abusing children but failing to report the activity to authorities.

Attorney Scott Beard says he filed the lawsuit against the Full Word Ministries church. Beard says church officials knew 44-year-old pastor Tyrone Moore was abusing his client, a young boy.

Moore is serving a 30-year prison sentence for committing a lewd act on a minor. A jury found him guilty of fondling two boys multiple times between 2004 and 2006.

Moore is on the state’s sex offender registry for a 1991 conviction of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a child between ages 11 and 14. He also was convicted in 1989 of committing a lewd act on a child under 16.
