PORT ORCHARD, Wash. — A former Kitsap County pastor accused of sexual abuse by former church members has been charged with eight felony counts of child rape and child molestation.

In a Kitsap County Superior Court appearance Thursday, Robbin Leeroy Harper, 60, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The charges stem from incidents that prosecutors say involved five victims between 1994 and 2006.

Harper previously served as the pastor of The Church in South Colby, a small, nondenominational congregation. Current church members say he stepped down as pastor more than three years ago.

In all, seven women and girls have accused him of molesting or raping them while he served as pastor.
