	Sex Charges against Former Pastor Go to Grand Jury By Lawrence Buser Commercial Appeal August 29, 2007 http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2007/aug/29/sex-charges-against-former-pastor/ Felony charges of sexual battery by an authority figure against the former pastor of Walnut Grove Baptist Church were bound over to a grand jury this afternoon. Steven. C. Haney, 47, who had been at the church some 20 years, is accused of having a six-year sexual affair with a young parish member that began when the boy was 15. "Steve had convinced me this was for God," the young man, now 21, testified in General Sessions Criminal Court. "He was a mentor and someone who told me we were a team. I was always trying to get out of it. He always told me to step it up." Haney did not testify in the hour-long hearing before Judge Ann Pugh. He was arrested in July and remains free on $25,000 bond.
