A Queen City, Mo., minister faces a felony charge after being accused of sexually abusing a minor for more than five years.

George Bradburn, 69, of Queen City, was recently charged with statutory sodomy in the first degree by the Schuyler County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

According to a press release, the Schuyler County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from the Kirksville Police Department in April about the alleged sexual abuse.

In an interview with law enforcement, the victim stated when he was about 9 years old he was introduced to the suspect as the pastor of a local church. The victim later began spending time around the church and became good friends with the suspect.
