Child abuse investigators have charged a former pastor in connection with alleged sexual assaults dating back to 1994.

The charges came after a person contacted police to report a series of sexual assaults that allegedly occurred during counselling sessions with a pastor.

The person has reported 50 to 60 cases of assault, including sexual touching and molestation, Staff Sgt. Robert Rutledge said.

They occurred over a nearly two year period, beginning in 1994 when the alleged victim was 11 years old, Rutledge said.
