Pastor Robert Lawther, 59, of Bethel Family Church was arrested Wednesday and charged with three counts of sexual interference.

The charges involve three different children, all younger than 16, and stem from incidents that occurred over the last five years in Glace Bay.

Lawther appeared in Nova Scotia provincial court in Sydney on Wednesday and was released on a recognizance with several strict conditions. He will return to court on Aug. 22 for plea.

Police are asking the general public if they have any information regarding this alleged crime to contact the dispatch center at 902-563-5151 or crime stoppers at 902-562-8477 or www.capebretoncrimestoppers.ca.
