A Lancaster County man who the state attorney general says is an associate pastor is charged with solicitation to commit sexual abuse of children and other related charges.

The attorney general's office did not identify the church.

The AG, in a news release, said parents approached the pastor of the church to say that Clarence Tyrone Taylor, 26, of the 400 block of Manor Street in Columbia, had made suggestive comments to several young people. The pastor went to Lancaster County detectives, who forwarded the case to the AG's office.

The attorney general alleges that Taylor used Facebook and text messages to tell a 15-year-old boy that he was "cute" and that they should spend more time together.

An undercover agent from the AG's office then assumed the online identity of the boy, according to the news release. Taylor allegedly sent an explicit nude photo to the boy, requested the boy do the same, and suggested they meet for sex.

Taylor is also charged with unlawful contact with a minor related to obscene and other sexual materials and performances, and criminal use of a communication facility.
