POPE COUNTY (KFSM) – An Arkansas youth minister was arrested for the second time in 2015 and accused of sexually assaulting a college student, telling her “God wants this,” authorities say.
Jonathan Neeley, of Nashville, Ark. (formerly of Russellville) surrendered himself to authorities on Friday (July 10) after learning of the warrant for his arrest, according to the River Valley Leader.
Court documents state that between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2013, Neeley sexually assaulted an intern working directly for him at a student center near the Arkansas Tech University campus.
The victim told authorities that during the time they worked together, Neeley began to ask her about her “past experiences with boys” and making comments about how beautiful she was, according to court documents.
She said their relationship became physical, and it happened nearly every time they were together, court documents state.
