WASHINGTON (WNEW) – A pastor and D.C. police officer charged with sexually abusing minors is going to remain in jail without bond.
Darrell Best, 45, appeared in Superior Court Thursday.
He is accused of sexually abusing two teenage girls, a 17-year-old at MPD headquarters and a 16-year-old at the church he founded in Southeast.
In addition to those allegations, the prosecution says in 2007 and 2008 Best also made unwanted advances toward two female officers, including a cadet. Best was demoted as a result.
Metropolitan Police Department says Best is currently on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation.
The prosecution suggested in court there may be more victims, saying Best contacted a third young female and asked her for erotic photos.
