A youth minister at Christ’s Church Mandarin was arrested Wednesday after police were alerted to sexual activity with a 15-year-old.
David Wayne Lawson, 38, of Ferrell Lane is charged with four counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a juvenile.
Kelly Mathis, attorney at the 6045 Greenland Road church, said Lawson had worked as a youth minister there for many years but was fired as soon as news of his arrest came.
“He was a youth minister and had contact with a great number of people at Christ’s Church,” Mathis said. “… It is disturbing and we are investigating to find all the information we can.”
