PARAGOULD, AR (KAIT) – A Region 8 youth minister was acquitted of sexual assault charges after being accused back in 2012.

Corey Ray Weatherford, 27, was originally charged with three counts of first degree sexual assault. On Monday, a jury acquitted him of those charges.

Weatherford was a student minister at Reynolds Baptist Church in Paragould.

He was accused of engaging in sexual activity with two girls at a church camp with the age of 16 and 17.
