A pastor who lives in Papillion has been charged with third-degree sexual assault of a child after he was accused of inappropriately touching a parishioner’s daughter, according to authorities.
According to a felony arrest warrant issued in Sarpy County, Clifton J. Wells, 61, is accused of touching the 14-year-old Bellevue girl in July while driving her to pick up a job application at a sandwich shop.
Upon the girl’s return home, according to the warrant, she told her mother about the incident, and her mother called Child Protective Services, which took a report and advised her to contact law enforcement.
According to the warrant, Wells is a pastor at a small church called the Church of Jesus Christ, which the mother told authorities is not affiliated with Latter-day Saints.
