A youth minister from the South Garland Baptist Church was arrested for alleged “continuous sex abuse of a child, possession of child pornography and online solicitation of a minor.”

According to a news release from the Sachse Police Department, detectives arrested Derek Hutter, 37 of Garland Friday on three outstanding warrants relating to the charges. Those charges stem from an alleged relationship with a 14-year-old Sachse resident.

Hutter allegedly met the victim at the church where he worked.

Pastor Larry Davis of the South Garland Baptist Church confirmed that Hutter worked at the church as “Student Minister.” “The Church Family is devastated at this time. The church is also devastated for the families involved,” Davis told CBS 11 News.

He was being held in the Sachse jail Friday in lieu of $150.000 bond and was set to be transferred to the Dallas County jail. Sachse Police did not say when that transfer would occur.
