	Pastor Faces Rape Charge By Gabe Wells Wheeling News-Register July 18, 2008 http://www.news-register.net/page/content.detail/id/511867.html Allegations of sexual abuse against a former Martins Ferry pastor came to light during a child's sleepover confession, according to reports. Peter Pilger, 36, of Warren, Ohio, will be arraigned today in Stark County Common Pleas Court on multiple charges of rape, kidnapping and gross sexual imposition, according to a spokeswoman in the Stark County Prosecutor's Office. Pilger was arrested July 2 on allegations he sexually abused a female family member who is now 12 years old over the course of as many as six years. Reports indicate the allegations came to light in April, when the alleged victim made the claims to friends while playing a game called "Deep Dark Secrets." Those friends encouraged the alleged victim to tell her mother of the abuse.
