A former Severna Park resident, convicted of child sex abuse in Anne Arundel County in 1988, is facing new charges in Pennsylvania.
Ray Scott Teets, 66, a pastor at Fallen Timbers Community Church in Fayette County, Pa., is being held on $250,000 bond on allegations he fondled and tried to have sex with an 11-year-old girl, according to online records and media reports.
Teets had a court appearance last week on 24 charges, ranging from unlawful restraint, corruption of minors and unlawful contact with a minor to stalking, criminal attempt of indecent assault and luring a child into a motor vehicle.
He is scheduled to be arraigned on Feb. 20, according to court records.
Teets denied the accusations, made by a former parishioner, during his hearing last week, according to media reports. But he did tell the court about his previous conviction for child sex abuse in Anne Arundel County.
