A former Kentucky youth pastor, already facing charges of sexual abuse in Henderson, Ky., has been arrested again on similar charges in a Colorado case.
John H. Brothers Jr., 43, was arrested on Friday in West Monroe, La., where he had been living since his departure from Kentucky last year.
Brothers was formerly a youth pastor at Hyland Baptist Church, a Southern Baptist congregation in Henderson, Ky.
Brothers is scheduled for trial on May 17 in Henderson Circuit Court on two counts of first-degree sexual abuse. A Henderson Police Department report said Brothers was arrested after a detective interviewed two juveniles under 18. News accounts at the time of Brothers’ arrest in November 2011 indicated that the alleged victims were members of the congregation.
