	Staunton Youth Pastor Case Moves Forward WHSV October 6, 2009 http://www.whsv.com/news/headlines/63614152.html The case against a former youth pastor accused of fondling young girls is on it's way to a grand jury. A Staunton juvenile and domestic relations court judge certified the charges against Steven Bruce Joplin Tuesday morning. The 59-year-old used to be the director of Christian education at Christ United Methodist Church in Staunton. Staunton police arrested him in August after the initial allegations involving a 10-year-old. A few days later Joplin was charged again after four more victims came forward. He's facing a total of seven counts of aggravated sexual assault. A Staunton grand jury will hear the case later this month.
