ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Roy Battle, a former Rochester church group leader accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with two teenagers, appeared Wednesday morning in a Monroe County courtroom.
Battle, 36, was originally indicted on 10 counts of sex abuse. He was indicted on June 18 in Kentucky on four counts of unlawful transaction with a minor for allegedly having sexual activity with a minor less than 16 years of age between Aug. 2009 and Feb. 2011.
Police say Battle was a church youth group leader in Rochester between 2005 and 2012 before moving to California.
Investigators said they started looking into Battle in 2014 and since then, several people have come forward saying they were subjected to sexual contact with Battle through his work at church.
