A 48-year-old pastor, who detectives said used social media to secretly arrange a sexual encounter with a 17-year-old boy, was arrested after the teen turned to police to report concerns about their conversations.

Florida Today reports that Wesley Ray Weaver, of West Melbourne, was charged with sexual battery after police were contacted by the boy to report what investigators describe as "disturbing comments" about other potential victims.

Detectives began investigating and charged Weaver at the First Christian Church of Vero Beach with the second-degree felony.

"This is a child, and we have laws in place that protect our most vulnerable,” Richard Cordeau of the West Melbourne Police Department told Florida Today. "He crossed the line and honestly, the details of the case are quite disturbing. Mr. Weaver made comments to the victim that indicated his desire for younger sexual victims," Cordeau said.

Never trust a Pastor.
They are leeches on humanity.

Youth pastor arrested at church after admitting he impregnated a 15-year-old, police say
imrs.php


A youth pastor at a rural Pennsylvania church has been fired and arrested on statutory sexual assault charges after police said he admitted to impregnating a 15-year-old girl, according to the Associated Press.

Police said the youth pastor, 35-year-old Wesley Blackburn, told his wife he was having an affair with the girl and that he wanted a divorce, the AP reported.

Distraught, Blackburn’s wife reportedly turned to Jim Espenshade, the senior pastor of Faith Brethren Bible Church in New Paris, Pa., about 100 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
“I was shocked. Absolutely shocked,” Espenshade told WJAC News. “You work with him and you’re there and you’re thinking, how could this happen? How could he do this?”

Blackburn’s wife told him she didn’t know what to do, Espenshade told the news station. “And I said, ‘I do.’ ”

Espenshade told the station that he rounded up the church’s other leaders in the parking lot, along with Blackburn, and they fired the youth pastor immediately, then called police.

“We didn’t even care what he had to say — we don’t tolerate this kind of stuff,” Espenshade told the station. “It’s inappropriate. It’s reprehensible.”

Pastors can't be trusted with out children.
