BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A local woman is filing a lawsuit claiming a youth minister from Four Square Church molested her when she was a child.
23 ABC is not identifying the youth pastor accused in the case because he was a juvenile at the time of the alleged assaults.
In a civil complaint, Jessica Bowman claims that, starting from 1987 when she was 4 years old, she was sexually molested by a 14-year-old Four Square church volunteer who later became her youth minister.
“(I remember) him touching me, touching me under my clothes, making me touch him,” said Bowman.
