Gwinnett County police confirmed a second victim has come forward and accused a former youth pastor and little league coach of sexual molestation.
Stacy Lee Everett, 42, of Covington, is currently in the Walton County Jail facing several counts each of sexual battery, cruelty of children, false imprisonment and child molestation charges. Everett was charged in the summer following an investigation that began out of state. In that case, the victim was reported to have been 12 and living in the Loganville area at the time of the alleged incidents. Lt. Mike Westbrooks of the Loganville Police Department said additional charges also have been added in the case of that first victim, bringing them up to 17 counts in total.
Gwinnett County police have said they expect to file charges in connection with the second victim by next week. Westbrooks said she is reported to be an adult who lived in Gwinnett County and was under age at the time of the alleged molestation.
Everett's arrest stirred strong emotions on both sides of the issue. Although police say charges such as these are not filed without a thorough investigation first, people are urged to remember that an arrest does not constitute a conviction.
