Church Leader Jordan Vernon Used MySpace To Abuse His Victim A Second Time

Earlier case involving suspect thrown out of court:

Iowa--A former Post Falls church youth leader was arrested last week after he had allegedly engaged in sexual and inappropriate contact with several girls ranging from ages of 12 to 17.

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”.
