Charles Adcock, the former youth pastor at Woodward Avenue Baptist Church whose charged with more than two dozen counts of rape and sodomy is suing Colbert County Sheriff Frank Williamson.
Adcock was charged in September 2014 for sex abuse crimes and let out on bond, but then brought back to the Colbert County Jail because he allegedly broke the conditions of his bond by taking another job as a youth minister in Texas.
Court documents filed at the end of November by Adcock’s attorney requesting a “Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus” to allow Adcock to go before a judge and plead his case on why he should be let out on bond.
The civil suit also says the church where Adcock was part-time employed knew of his sexual abuse charges in Alabama but were not allowing him unsupervised time with minors.
