A 71-year-old pastor remains in Tate County Jail on charges of sexual battery of a child following a hearing at Tate County Justice Court Tuesday.
The suspect was identified by Tate County Sheriff Brad Lance as Larry Singleton, pastor of the Bay Springs Baptist Church in Lafayette County.
An arrest warrant for Singleton was enforced Monday night, days after an 18-year-old man came to deputies saying that he’d been forced into having sex with the man, Lance said.
According to Lance, the sexual abuse is alleged to have begun when the victim was 11 years old and continued for years.
