YORK, S.C. — A York, S.C. pastor is in trouble with the law, accused of sexually abusing a young teenage member of his church.
Cory Dean Moses, 38, is wanted for first-degree assault and battery. Investigators say the victim was just 14 years old when the abuse started, and continued until she was 19.
“When she was about 16, she challenged him on his touching her and that’s when he told her look if you go tell anybody I’m going to tell them you came and touched me, and you initiated the contact. So he had a sphere of influence over her,” said York Police Department Lt Richard Caddell.
This was not Moses’ first brush with the law. In 2003 he was convicted of indecent liberties in Gastonia for sexually abusing two young teenage girls.
