POWELL COUNTY, Ky. —A Kentucky minister was arrested after being accused of sexually abusing two girls in his church.
According to the Powell County Sheriff’s Office, deputies arrested Steve Williams, 52, Friday afternoon. He is charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor.
Officials said the charges stem from allegations that Williams inappropriately touched two girls, one during a field trip and the other at church.
“You have a defendant who has access to all kinds of different children through the church that he pastored,” Chief Deputy Robert Matthews said. “You have to act fact to make sure you don’t have any more victims.”
