FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Emotions ran high during testimony Tuesday morning in the trial of a former youth pastor who is accused of molesting children.

The first to take the stand in the trial of Jeffrey London was one of his alleged victims.

The man said he first met London at a Boys and Girls Club when he was seven years old. He testified that London sexually abused him from the time he was 11-years old until he turned 18. He said his grandmother trusted London and allowed him to move in with the pastor because she thought he would be safe with him.

The 25-year old man said the abuse started about a month after he moved in with London.

The man sobbed as he described the abuse he endured and said he felt powerless to make it stop.
