A former South Dakota pastor is accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl.

The 49-year-old man was indicted on several charges by a Lincoln County grand jury. According to the indictment, Anthony Haglund was taken into custody in Sumter County, Florida without incident on Monday afternoon.

Haglund was once in a position of trust. Now the former pastor is being charged with having sex with a minor who, court papers say, was dependent on him.

Lincoln County States Attorney Tom Wollman said, “There was a relationship that existed our victim and the defendant here and it’s a very unique relationship and a relationship that’s protected by law and prohibits the conduct we’ve alleged in the indictment.”
