A Jacksboro preacher faces multiple sex charges that accuse him of abusing a now 17-year-old girl who lived with him, records show.
Jimmy E. Orick, 68, is accused of aggravated statutory rape, statutory rape by an authority figure, and sexual battery by an authority figure. A Campbell County grand jury returned the eight-count indictment on Thursday, and Orick was arrested the next day.
Orick has a March 6 court date in Campbell County Circuit Court, criminal division. He is free on bond.
The investigation began in December after the girl’s mother called authorities, according to records.
