A former assistant pastor at a Thornton church has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a child congregant, prosecutors announced Monday.
Robert Duane Wyatt, 50, of Agape Bible Church, is accused of sexual assault on a child, sexual assault on a child as a pattern of conduct and sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.
The Adams County District Attorney’s Office say Wyatt sexually assaulted a girl, who is now 14 years old, whose family attended the church at 8761 Huron St.
“The girl reported that the conduct had been going on for nearly two years, beginning when she was 12,” the office said in a news release.
Wyatt surrendered to authorities on Monday afternoon and was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail.
