A pastor is charged with molesting a 6-year-old girl his wife was baby-sitting in Queens, the district attorney said Monday.
James Love, pastor of New Mount Zion Baptist Church in Bushwick, Brooklyn, allegedly fondled the girl and exposed himself to her at his Woodside Houses apartment in Woodside on Thursday and March 7, according to the criminal complaint.
The victim’s mother told police Love once “exposed his genitals to her and placed her hand on his genitals,” and on several occasions, “rubbed his genitals against (hers)” while they were both clothed, the complaint read. He also repeatedly tried to put his hand under the little girl’s clothes, the DA charged.
The abuses were reported to police Friday, a cop source said. Investigators arranged a phone call between Love and the victim’s mother in which Love denied the allegations.
