DENTON COUNTY — Jeffrey Dale Williams, the senior pastor at The Church of Corinth, has been accused of trying to persuade a girl under 18 to take her clothes off.

He was jailed on charges of “attempted sexual performance of a child.” Bond was set at $10,000.
Police said the alleged incident was captured on a two-hour audiotape.

“He tried to entice her to take her clothes off so he could see her naked body,” said Corinth police Capt. Greg Wilkerson.

Police said the complaint came in from a social worker at the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services on April 3, four days after the alleged act.
