Charles Kyle Adcock (Colbert County jail)

A Colbert County judge has revoked the bond of a former Muscle Shoals youth pastor who, while facing 20 counts of rape and nine counts of sodomy in Alabama, has been hired by a church in Texas.

Assistant District Attorney Angela Hulsey on Thursday filed a motion seeking to revoke the bond of Charles Kyle Adcock, 32, who is accused of repeatedly raping a young girl between 2010 and 2012, while he was a youth pastor at Woodward Avenue Baptist Church in Muscle Shoals. The girl was 14 years old at the time the alleged abuse began.

Indicted in January, Adcock was out on bond, a condition of which is that he not have unsupervised contact with minors.

"The state has received information that the defendant is employed by First Baptist Church in Bedford, Texas as a worship pastor, which would allow him unsupervised contact with minors," Hulsey wrote in her motion. "This type of employment is a violation of the conditions of the defendant's release on bond."

The judge granted the motion, ordering that Adcock be taken into custody.

Word of Adcock's new job spread to Alabama earlier this week after AL.com learned of his new position, which had congregants of the church that hired him angry and upset. Steve Knott, pastor of the church, told a Dallas news station that Adcock is a temporary employee in the church's music ministry.

Adcock, who was arrested last August, was youth pastor Woodward Avenue Baptist Church from December 2008 until May 2012. By the time the victim in the case came forward last year, Adcock had left the church and moved to Arkansas before relocating to Grand Prairie, Texas.
