More details have been released about the arrest of a former Abilene church worker who is charged with sexual assault of a child.

According to an arrest report, a victim came forward saying they were sexually abused by 43-year-old Jeff Forrest back in September of 1993.

Forrest was the victim’s after-school daycare teacher, court documents state.

The victim reported that alleged abuse continued until their 8th grade year of school.

Records say that after several years of keeping the abuse secret, the victim finally admitted the abuse to their father in 2011.
