CANTON, S.D. (AP) — A former South Dakota pastor accused by authorities of having sex with a 15-year-old girl has pleaded not guilty to multiple sex charges.
KDLT-TV (http://argusne.ws/1Du4OQX ) reports 49-year-old Anthony Haglund entered his plea Monday in Lincoln County. His bond has been lowered to $50,000 cash only.
Haglund has been indicted on three counts of sexual penetration by a psychotherapist, sexual contact with a child under 16 and sexual contact by a psychotherapist. He was arrested in Florida earlier this month.
Authorities say the contact occurred between January 2011 and December 2013. He was a pastor at Canton Lutheran Church for part of that time.
