CONCORD, N.C. — “I’m pleased, very pleased; it’s all we’ve wanted,” said attorney Seth Langson.

Langson represents one of the alleged victims who claims Bobby Price, a former Kings Way Baptist church youth minister, molested him.

“He met Bobby Price as a pastor, youth minister and a friendship evolved into sexual abuse,” said Langson.

The complaint claims it started when the plaintiff was 12-years-old, and continued until he was 16. The victim came forth when he was 23, and a civil lawsuit was resolved, but before criminal charges were filed in 2011, Price left for Nicaragua.

“I’m very happy he’s back, I’d like him to have a trial by a jury of his peers, and let them decide guilty or not guilty,” said Langson.
