Tedd Butler

Tedd Butler, who once served as pastor for Gospel Light Baptist Church, is charged in Ottawa County on a count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a child 5 or 6 years old in 2006.

Butler was in Hudsonville District Court last week where he waived his probable cause hearing which means the case will be sent to Ottawa County Circuit Court in Grand Haven for trial or a resolution with the prosecutor's office.

Last month, Butler was in Kent County District Court where he was ordered to stand trial in circuit court on a charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct stemming from more than 20 years ago when 46-year-old Butler was youth pastor at the now disbanded Landmark Baptist Church in Algoma Township.
