A Fort Worth pastor has been arrested and faces a charge of sexual assault in a 2000 case in which he is accused of performing sexual acts on a then-18-year-old girl at a Crowley residence, according to Crowley police reports released Wednesday.

The female, now an adult, told Crowley police that she had kept quiet about the alleged assault until now because the pastor owned a gun and he told her that no one would believe her, the reports stated.

Crowley police identified the suspect as Darrell Wayne Blair, pastor of New Breed Christian Church in Fort Worth.

Blair, 43, of Waxahachie, surrendered to authorities on Monday and walked out of jail about an hour later after posting $25,000 bail.
