The principal and assistant pastor at Grace Baptist Christian Academy was reportedly held on $25,000 bail Tuesday at Attleboro District Court and charged with molesting one of his students.
The Attleboro Sun Chronicle is reporting that Pastor Jeffery Nichols of Fourth St. in Attleboro turned himself into police on Monday and, according to Assistant District Attorney Erin Aiello, admitted to molesting a student from 2008 through 2013. Grace Baptist Christian Church Pastor Jeff Bailey, who is challenging for State Rep. Paul Heroux’s seat in November, told the Sun Chronicle that he was in “complete shock” when he learned, and immediately fired Nichols.
