Greenville County deputies said a 54-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday after investigators learned he had inappropriately touched and molested as 12-year-old girl.

James Brian Briley was charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor.

Briley worked as the campus pastor at Summit Church on Rutherford Road, deputies said. He also worked at the Frazee Dream Center in the past.

Deputies began investigating after they received a tip from the Julie Valentine Center about possible abuse.

Deputies said investigators soon learned the sexual activity occurred on July 31 at Briley’s home.

Briley was released from the Greenville County Detention Center on a $25,000 bond.

Investigators believe there may be additional victims. Anyone who may have been a victim or know of others should call 864-467-4704 or 864-23-CRIME.
