WAVERLY, Iowa — Pastor Dennis Brown of rural Eldora intends to change his plea and admit he engaged in a sex act with a 15-year-old boy, according to court documents.

Waverly police arrested Brown, 67, in July, and he was charged with third-degree sexual abuse, a Class C felony.

Brown and the boy allegedly became acquainted online through a website and arranged to meet in Waverly. The teenager’s family found out and contacted law enforcement officials, according to court records.

Brown indicated he had been pastor of a church in Grundy County for four years. He also maintained a home in Verona, Va.
