A volunteer is accused of sexually abusing children at a North Richland Hills church.
Police are investigating three complaints of sexual abuse of children, two of which allegedly happened at Saint John the Apostle Church on Glenview Drive.
All three complaints involve children who, at the time of the alleged misconduct, were between the ages of five and 10. Now, officers say the victims are teenagers.
“We’ve had allegations of sexual misconduct and we take them seriously. But we also need information and evidence to move forward,” said North Richland Hills Police Investigator Keith Bauman. “There are three specific situations that we are looking into.”
Two instances of sexual misconduct allegedly happened inside the Catholic church during evening prayer meetings.
