GALLATIN, Tenn. – A former pastor at a well-known Middle Tennessee church has been accused of a crime.

Detectives said the charges came after an investigation involving an alleged video made of a teenage girl.

The suspect in this case, identified as Jody Dwayne Brown, was a worship leader for both adults and youth ministry at Freedom Church in Gallatin.

Brown has been charged with attempted aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor and unlawful photography in violation of privacy.

“We have young people and older people and mix of two and video taking place that maybe shouldn’t take place, but it’s important to investigate,” said Sumner County Sheriff’s Detective Eddie Cripps.
