GREENSBURG, Ind. – An Indiana minister has been arrested, accused of sodomy and sexual abuse against a child under 12 years of age.
Duncan Aker, Jr. is now the pastor at Greensburg Christian Church. But the sex charges stem from his last calling as a minister in Vanceburg, Kentucky.
In Greensburg, neighbors and church members expressed shock, disbelief and anger at the news. Many say 63-year-old Duncan Aker was more than a minister.
Debbie Powers and her mom live next door to Aker and his wife.
“He’s just a nice neighborhood man from the time he moved in the neighborhood,” Powers said. “He mowed lawns, helped with gardening and helped carry in groceries.”
