CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. – A youth pastor from North Chesterfield was arrested and charged with several online sex crimes against children. Deric Wallace Peacock, 30, is charged with sexual solicitation of a minor by electronic means; requesting a minor to fondle her own sexual or genital parts; and three counts of exposing his sexual or genital parts to a minor.
All charges against Peacock are felonies.
Peacock was arrested as the result of an undercover investigation by the Christiansburg Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit, according to Christiansburg Public Relations Officer Becky Wilburn.
Wilburn said Peacock was never having a conversation with a child, rather he was communicating with undercover police officers.
He is being held without bond in the Montgomery County Jail.
