HORNTON, Colo. — Court documents question whether church leaders in Thornton conspired to protect a fellow pastor accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl.

What’s more incredulous is the reaction from the victim’s own parents.

A 16-page arrest affidavit paints a disturbing picture of what was going on inside Agape Bible Church at West 88th Avenue and Huron Street after it came to light one of its former pastors was having a sexual relationship with a girl who is now 14 years old.

Robert “Bob” Wyatt is accused of sexually assaulting a child of a congregation member for nearly two years, a chile he came to know at Agape and then began homeschooling her.
