	Pastor Tells Court He's Not Guilty of Abuse Richmond Times-Dispatch September 20, 2006 http://www.timesdispatch.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RTD%2FMGArticle%2FR TD_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1149190713351&path=!news&s=1045855934842 Culpeper -- Charles Shifflett, pastor of First Baptist Church of Culpeper, pleaded not guilty this week to seven felony charges of physical and sexual abuse against children. He requested a trial by jury. The charges stem from incidents involving five alleged victims that occurred up to 20 years ago at Calvary Baptist Church, where Shifflett had been pastor, and its adjoining K-12 private school. Shifflett's lawyer, Samuel Higginbotham II, of Orange told Judge John Cullen in court Monday that he and Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Tom Smith are discussing whether to combine or separate the charges. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 25.
