POWELL COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) – The trial for the Powell County youth pastor accused of sexual abuse will begin Monday.
52-year-old Steve Williams is accused of sexually abusing at least two minors. Williams was a school bus driver for Powell County Schools and pastor of the Bowen First Church of God for about two and a half years. Powell County deputies say the church has one of the largest youth groups in the area, and Williams was very involved with many children in the congregation.
Authorities were first alerted about the alleged misconduct by the Powell County Board of Education on Thursday, after a student who attends Powell County Middle School reported that she had been sexually abused by Williams.
