YORK — An international support group for survivors of abuse at the hands of the clergy is demanding that the denominational organization that employed a North Carolina pastor accused of sexually assaulting a girl at two York churches answer “why they allowed a convicted sexual predator to work.”
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) on Friday afternoon issued a statement calling for the Fire Baptized Holiness Church of God of the Americas, headquartered in Greenville, to answer unanswered questions in light of warrants being issued for Cory Dean Moses, 38, of Charlotte.
Police on Thursday said they issued warrants for Moses that will charge him with assault, criminal sexual conduct with a minor and committing or attempting a lewd act.
Over a five-year period, authorities say he sexually assaulted, fondled and molested a girl while he was pastor at New Mount Zion Church on U.S. 321 in York, and then later at Redeemed Christian Ministries on Ross Cannon Street.
