GEARY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) — Prosecutors say they expect to file more charges against a Junction City minister at the center of a growing church sex scandal.
Jordan Young, 25, is facing child molestation charges in six cases involving separate victims and officials tell 13 News he could be charged in another 4-7 cases based on allegations that have surfaced from several other victims.
Young appeared in Geary County District Court Thursday for a status hearing on his cases. WIBW’s request to have a camera inside the courtroom was denied. The hearing was continued as authorities keep building their case against Young. He was originally arrested in August after the Junction City Police Department launched an investigation into reports of sexual misconduct at the church.
Assistant Geary County Attorney Michelle Brown says state is waiting to receive test results from the KBI. The agency is testing close to 40 pieces of evidence, looking for DNA.
