FREESTONE COUNTY–In Fairfield, East of Waco, a preacher is accused of doing the unthinkable– having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl.
36-year-old Anthony Lynn Thibodeaux is a preacher at Fairfield Missionary Baptist Church in Fairfield. According to the Freestone Co. sheriff’s office he was arrested at his Mexia home for sexual assault and indecency with a child. It’s devastating for church members to hear such allegations about their pastor.
“This is very very disturbing, ” said church member Troy Lee Solmon. “I just don’t know which way we are going to go now but I feel like we will work it out.”
Solmon grew up with strong ties with Fairfield Missionary Baptist. He says he’s known the Pastor, Anthony Thibodeaux for several years, and he’s given the church a bad name before.
