TOLEDO, Ohio (13abc Action News) - The wife of a Toledo pastor charged with child sex trafficking has resigned from her board position with the Lucas County Children Services Board.

According to Children Services, Laura Lloyd Jenkins sent a letter via email to county commissioners resigning from the board effective yesterday.

The announcement comes after federal agents testified in court that she knew her husband, Pastor Cordell Jenkins, allegedly had sex with a teen and never reported it.

The prosecutors called her husband a "flight risk" citing evidence of internet searches made by his wife for plane tickets.

Prosecutors also showed text messages shared between Jenkins and the two alleged victims revealing he'd give them up to $300 for sex acts.
