Rowan authorities have filed additional charges against former Kannapolis youth pastor Benjamin Ross Hollifield.
Hollifield, 25, of the 1000 block of Buck Board Lane, Salisbury, was jailed on a $1 million bond following his arrest a week ago.
Investigators and church officials say these incidents occurred between Feb. 15 and March 8 involving a young girl whose family attends the church.
On Thursday investigators charged Hollifield with felony first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He was charged last week with four counts of felony indecent liberties with a child and 10 counts of felony statutory rape or sex offense with a minor.
