Lex 18
Deputies have arrested a McCracken County youth pastor accused of having a sexual relationship with a teenager.
Deputies say they opened an investigation after receiving a tip that Michael E. Parsons, 44, of Kevil, had engaged in a sexual relationship with one of the youth at Milburn Chapel Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Investigators say the girl was 16 years old when the relationship began in 2013. Deputies say it continued through 2014. Investigators say Parsons had sex with the girl during youth group meetings and when he took her home. They say there were additional sexual encounters at Parson’s home.
Deputies also say Parsons exchanged explicit photos and videos with the teen via text message.
