A Baptist pastor pleaded not guilty Friday to charges that he sexually abused a girl about 20 years ago in Thousand Oaks, officials said.

William Alan Malgren, 52, faces two counts of oral copulation with a child and one count of continuous sexual abuse, the Ventura County Sheriff's Department said.

The alleged victim said she was abused from 1983 to 1989 while a student at the Thousand Oaks Baptist Church's school.

The suspected abuse happened during church events and on school grounds, the Sheriff's Department said.

Malgren was arrested Wednesday in Moscow, Idaho, where he is a pastor at Grace Baptist Church. He waived extradition rights and was flown to Ventura County on Thursday.

Malgren is scheduled to appear in court again Oct. 18 for an early disposition conference, the Sheriff's Department said.
