A Gatesville youth minister is facing felony charges of sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child.

Jail records indicated Evan William Jackson, 32, was arrested Thursday on the two felony charges. He bonded out of Coryell County Jail on $45,000 bond Friday afternoon.

Jackson is a youth minister at the Coryell Community Church in Gatesville. Jackson is a father of two and his wife also works for the church, according to a biography on the church's wesbite.

Jackson began working at the church in 2004. On Friday, Coryell County District Attorney Dusty Boyd told local media outlets the incident that got Jackson arrested happened at least 10 years ago, and did not involve any children at the church.

Boyd said Jackson turned himself in, and declined to give further details, as the investigation was ongoing.
