A Pequea Valley Junior High School basketball coach and former youth pastor has been charged with the repeated sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy.

Officials also charged Jonathan D. Masteller, 23, of Kinzer Road, Kinzers, with having images and videos on his computer depicting child pornography.

He was arraigned Tuesday by District Judge B. Denise Commins and committed to Lancaster County Prison after failing to post $250,000 bail.

Masteller is the junior high head boys’ basketball coach at Pequea Vallley, according to the district’s website.

On social media sites, Masteller also identified himself as being employed by Pequea Valley as an assistant in a third-grade emotional support classroom.
