McALESTER — The Tulsa World reports that Pittsburg County prosecutors have filed a motion alleging a church coverup in the case of a church elder who is accused of molesting multiple children more than 30 years ago.
Ronald Lawrence, an elder at the Jehovah’s Witness Church in McAlester, was arrested in November following a long investigation, McAlester police said at the time. The case stems from allegations made by three accusers who told police Lawrence abused them in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
