A former pastor at a Pennsylvania church who fled to Ecuador after allegedly sexually assaulting a teenage girl was arrested as he re-entered the country at Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday, authorities said.

Jacob Malone, 33, of Exton was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals and will be extradited to Chester County to face charges of institutional sexual assault and rape, West Whiteland, Pa., police said in a news release.

Malone met the victim when she was 12 and he worked at a church in Mesa, Ariz. The married father then moved to a church in Minnesota before relocating his family to Downington, Pa. in 2014. 

The then-17-year-old girl moved in with Malone and his family soon after they settled in suburban Philadelphia, police said. He allegedly provided the victim alcohol after she turned 18 and sexually assaulted her on one occasion after she became intoxicated, police said.

Malone resigned from Calvary Fellowship in November, according to Philly.com. The website also reported Malone impregnated the teenager.
