WASHINGTON COUNTY, Va. — A local minister is facing felony charges of sexual assault and stalking, but some of the charges have now been dropped.
John Wesley Price, who is the pastor at Temple Baptist Church, is accused of four felony sexual assault charges as well as several misdemeanor charges of stalking.
The juvenile court dropped the assault charges Thursday, but the Commonwealth’s Attorney says this case is not over. “Not as far as my office is concerned,” Commonwealth’s Attorney for Washington County, Virginia Nicole M. Price said. “There is substantial evidence of multiple felonies that he perpetrated against [a] young lady, both while she was a juvenile and after she became an adult. So I will be presenting indictments to the grand jury.”
