WESTMINSTER, Colo. – A Westminster pastor has been arrested on allegations he sexually assaulted a girl over a three-year period, starting when she was 13 years old, according to court records obtained by 7NEWS.

Gerald Leroy Clark, 51, was arrested by Westminster police Wednesday on investigation of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust, involving a pattern of abuse. He appeared in Jefferson County court Thursday where he was advised of his rights and why he was being held, said District Attorney spokeswoman Pam Russell.

Clark was released from jailed in the afternoon after posting a $20,000 bond.

Clark is pastor of Jericho Ministries International, which initially met at the West View Recreation Center in Westminster, but now holds services at the Greenway Club House in Broomfield, court records state.
