A Chester County pastor is wanted on charges he sexually assaulted a teen girl who lived with his family.
Jacob “Jake” Malone, 33, Exton, had served on the staff of Calvary Fellowship in Downington. Officials who answered the phone at the church this morning said a member of the staff would offer comment later today.
According to the West Whiteland Township Police Department, Malone met the female at a church in Mesa, Arizona, when she was 12-years old; he was a pastor at a church she attended. When she was 17, he invited her to Minnesota — where he was then pastoring — to stay with his family.
“While in Minnesota, the victim alleged that Malone began trying to have inappropriate contact with her,” police say in their report.
