A former North Texas youth pastor was arrested recently for allegedly fondling a young boy.
The 67-year-old former associate pastor, Steven Gray, is accused of fondling a “then” 11-year old boy, who was visiting him inside his trailer at a south Dallas mobile home park.
The arrest warrant affidavit says the victim, who is now 16, told his mother and a friend about what happened during at least one of the visits.
John Hall says he is that friend.
“He came out with me about four or five weeks ago during the summer and he said, ‘This is what happened: I was molested,” said Hall.
According to the affidavit, the victim says at age 11, “He started going over to [Gray’s] residence on a daily basis,” and, “On one of these visits, [Gray] asked about a cowboy hat and [Gray] said if he wanted that hat, he would have to earn it.”
