A former Clinton minister of music admits to sexual indiscretions with boys more than 2 decades ago.

According to the pastor of Morrison Heights Baptist Church in Clinton, John Langworthy made the admission Sunday morning.

Langworthy claims this all happened in the late 1980s while he was working at another church in Mississippi and one in Texas.

Before Langworthy resigned his church job in May, church leaders were investigating the accusations.

Also within the past couple of weeks he resigned his job as music teacher at Clinton High School.

An advocate for victims of abuse by the clergy says she contacted the district a year ago about Langworthy.

But the district never removed him from the classroom.

We talked to the Clinton superintendent who says there were no allegations against Langworthy there.
