The newspaper reports Yoakem is accused of having sex with a 14-year-old boy at the New Gospel Outreach Church in Scottsville, Kentucky, where Yoakem is a pastor, and at a residence in Gallatin, Tennessee. He is also facing charges in Kentucky.

His attorney in Kentucky wasn't in the office Wednesday and didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.

Gallatin police said Yoakem was convicted in 2005 in Kentucky of sexual abuse.
