Bloomington, Ill. - Holding a Bible, a Bloomington minister once honored for his work with youth pleaded not guilty Friday to charges that he sedated and sexually abused four young boys during sleepovers at his home.

James C. Love, 37, was charged two weeks ago after one of his alleged victims contacted authorities. Additional charges were filed as more boys came forward, and police are asking other children and parents to contact authorities if they suspect abuse.

Defense attorney Steve Skelton told reporters Friday that additional charges are "a concern, but I don't think it's a realistic one right now."
