The pastor of a Fayette County church is accused of indecent sexual contact with the 11-year-old daughter of one of his former congregants.
Ray Scott Teets, 66, of South Union is charged by state police at Uniontown with indecent assault, unlawful restraint, interference with custody of children, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor, concealing the whereabouts of a child, child luring, stalking and criminal trespass.
The girl, her mother and her mother’s fiance were members of a church listed as Fallen Timbers Community Church on Fallen Timbers Road in Springhill in an affidavit of probable cause. Teets is the pastor at Fallen Timbers Community Chapel at that address.
As he was leaving the office of Masontown District Judge Randy Abraham, Teets said the charges were “outrageous.”
Abraham set bail at $250,000. Teets told the judge he has a 1986 conviction for child sexual abuse in Maryland.
