GARLAND – A Garland youth pastor was arrested Friday for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old, possession of child porn, and online solicitation of a minor, Sachse police say.
Derek Hutter, 37, is a youth minister at South Garland Baptist Church and the alleged victim is a Sachse resident.
The girl’s parents first alerted police to the situation on Oct. 3 after they discovered an email from Hutter to their daughter asking her to perform and photograph herself performing sexually-explicit acts.
The victim was interviewed at the Dallas County Children’s Advocacy Center on Thursday and told a counselor that in January, when she was 13, she began a sexual relationship with Hutter that continued through 20 encounters through September, according to the arrest affidavit.
