Jordan Vernon, 20, is also accused of having sexual intercourse with at least two of the victims, ages 14 & 17, while serving as youth leader of Real Life Ministries between 2007 and 2009.
He was arrested late last year on charges of sexual battery of a child, lewd conduct with a minor child and statutory rape of a child.
For years now Vernon had long been suspected of "grooming" various girls while a member Real Life Ministries and among several accusations officer's suspect him of sending various sexual related text messages and even inappropriately touching a 12-year-old while during the church service.
Vernon actually had a case dismissed in court awhile back in which he allegedly encouraged a 12-year-old “to sneak out of the house”.
Finally in 2009, a fellow youth pastor at the church contacted police and informed them of additional rumors involving Vernon.
He is also alleged to have taken pictures of a 14-year-old girl performing oral sex on him and later posting those photos on MySpace using a the pseudonym “Frank”.
