A former Mobridge pastor has been charged in Walworth County with a felony count of sexual contact with a minor.
The charge against Timothy Thompson, 38, who now lives in Colorado, stems from incidents in 2008, according to court paperwork.
Thompson was the pastor at Cornerstone Community Church in Mobridge from March 2008 through February 2013, when he moved to Denver, according to the Mobridge Tribune. The Tribune reports that the victim is now an adult and that Thompson was arrested in Denver late last month and extradited to Walworth County for a Sept. 2 court hearing at which he was granted a court-appointed attorney but did not enter a plea.
He’s scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 22.
