JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — David Lawson is a father, a family man, and now, an accused child molester.
“I don’t believe it,” said his neighbor, George E. Miller. Lawson worked as a student minister at Christ’s Church on Greenland Road. “He has a family,” said Miller. “He loves his little girl. Got a little 3-year-old girl.”
The church wouldn’t comment on the case, only telling Action News only that Lawson has been fired as a result of his arrest. Police say Lawson’s victim was just 15 years old. And they say he has confessed to the crime.
“That’s a real shocker,” said Miller. “Because he’s a great family man as far as I’m concerned.”
