A local church camp operator has been arrested on charges of sexually abusing a girl for seven years.
The charges come after the victim found out the man was running a kid’s ministry camp in Bell County.
Back in October 2013, after years of trying to get charges filed against the suspect, the woman went to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department where authorities then issued an arrest warrant. Bell County police were then able to locate and arrest the man who actually lives on the property where he runs that children’s camp.
Jon Phillip Tidball is the executive director at the Patriot Kids Ministries Camp in Salado where he’s been running the camp since January 2012. Police say that although he has been involved in numerous kid’s organizations and camps throughout Bell County, so far, no other victims have come forward with sexual abuse claims.
