Albert Young, pastor of Total Deliverance Ministries, was charged with unlawful sexual contact with a minor, corruption of minors and indecent assault of a child.

A Philadelphia pastor was arrested last week after his 15-year-old mentally challenged niece ratted him out for allegedly molesting her inside the ministry office this summer.

Albert A.Young, 49, described in the Philadelphia Daily News as a “wolf disguised as a sheep,” was charged with unlawful sexual contact with a minor, corruption of minors and indecent assault of a child.

In a police affidavit cited in the report, the self-described “apostle” of Total Deliverance Ministries in North Philadelphia allegedly made the teen sit in his lap and put his hands inside her pants, touched her buttocks and kissed her neck on the night of Aug. 12. He allegedly forced his clothed genitals onto her and made her touch him sexually.

When he was done, he warned her not to tell anyone — but she went ahead anyway and an investigation subsequently led to his arrest at his rowhouse last week.

He posted 10% of his $50,000 bail last Friday.

The ministry could not be immediately reached for comment.

The news comes just weeks after a Philadelphia area priest was arrested on child porn charges after he posted lewd pics of underage girls to Instagram.
