In June, Mark Allen Green, former pastor of the Cowboy Church in Marshall County, said he turned himself over to authorities in Ellis County, Texas, after he was charged with the sexual abuse of a minor.

Green went on to say he spent 90 days in jail and, since then, a grand jury in Ellis County decided not to indict him on the charges after the child who made the accusations recanted her story.

A clerk in the Ellis County District Attorney’s office confirmed that the grand jury did not indict Green.

He is also facing the same charges in Navarro County, but Green said he expected those to be dropped as well, since they were based on the same investigation, and involved the same person, in Ellis County.
