SHILOH, Ill. (KMOX) – A church official from Shiloh, Illinois has been arrested on four counts of aggravated sexual abuse.
The charges against 47-year-old Jeffrey Strait initially came to light last week when a parishioner at First Baptist Church in Fairview Heights told police about an incident where the parishioner was abused as a minor by a church deacon or youth minister.
Shiloh Police Chief Jim Stover says since then four more teenaged victims have stepped forward.
