Tommy Lynn Bailey

A Jackson County judge rules there is probable cause to hold a trial for a former Altus pastor accused of sexually abusing a foster child.

Formal arraignment of 56-year-old Tommy Lynn Bailey is set for May 5th on a charge of sexual abuse of a child.

Bailey was arrested in Altus in December and is free on bond awaiting trial.

Condition of his bond include no contact the alleged victim and he also can not be in the presence of any minors without supervision.

Authorities allege the abuse began in 2007 when the girl was 14-years-old and was living in Bailey's home.

They say it continued through last February.

Bailey served as pastor of the Elm and Hudson Chruch of Christ for about 15 years.
