	Suspected WVA Child Molester Jailed on $4m Bond Charleston Daily Mail September 19, 2009 http://www.dailymail.com/policebrfs/200909180263 GRAFTON, W.Va. (AP) - A Thornton man charged with sexually abusing four children is being held on $4 million bond, and authorities say there may be a fifth victim. Forty-nine-year-old Bradley Barrett was initially held on $400,000 bail at the Tygart Valley Regional Jail, but Taylor County Circuit Judge Alan Moats later raised it. Investigators say Barrett gave children the sleep drug Ambien, and took them to other counties to have sex. Prosecutor John Bord says he also may have crossed state lines. If so, Barrett could be prosecuted under federal law. A pastor who allegedly knew about the abuse was also indicted this week on a misdemeanor charge of failing to report the crimes. Craig Johnson, of Oak Grove Baptist Church, pleaded not guilty. He's free on $1,000 bond.
