A school bus driver and youth pastor in Powell County is currently facing shocking allegations. 52-year-old Steve Williams is accused of sexually abusing at least 2 minors.
“That’s just appalling. I hope it’s not true. Everybody is wondering, did he really do this? I hope to God he didn’t,” said Powell County resident Carla Reeves.
Williams was a school bus driver for Powell County Schools and pastor of the Bowen First Church of God for about two and a half years. Powell County deputies say the church has one of the largest youth groups in the area, and Williams was very involved with many children in the congregation.
“It’s somebody we trust with our children. It’s not just some guy at the grocery store that rolls your buggy out and helps you with groceries. He’s driving a bus, he’s taking care of our children,” said Powell County resident Don Reeves.
