	NY Youth Minister Accused of Sexually Abusing Girl WCBS December 8, 2009 http://wcbstv.com/topstories/church.abuse.allegations.2.1351506.html A youth minister has been charged with sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl who attended his Manhattan church. Jeremy Fulton is being held without bail after pleading not guilty Friday to charges that include rape and predatory sexual assault against a child, a felony punishable by up to 25 years to life in prison. Prosecutors say Fulton, a 27-year-old minister at Mariner's Temple Baptist Church, befriended the girl and had sex with her, sometimes daily, between July 2007 and October 2009. Prosecutors believe there is at least one other victim within the church. Defense attorney Liz Beal says Fulton has worked at the church for seven years and is highly regarded. She says the church held a meeting after his arrest and that no other allegations surfaced. Henrietta Carter, a pastor at the church, said she had no comment at this time. Mariner's Temple Baptist Church claims to be the oldest Baptist Church in Manhattan and was established in 1795.
