A former youth pastor accused of sexually assaulting a child at Kings Way Baptist Church in Concord has been arrested.
Robert “Bobby” Price was arrested Monday and released Tuesday after being charged with five counts of taking indecent liberties with a child. He was released on $50,000 bond.
Price was a youth minister at his father’s church, Kings Way Baptist, in Concord. In 2011 a 23-year-old man told Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police that Price molested him as a 12-year-old.
In a civil suit filed in 2011, the accuser claims the abuse happened multiple times at the King’s Way Baptist Church’s “Youth Shack,” on a mission trip, and even at the youth minister’s own house, according to NBC Charlotte, the Observer’s news partner.
