Youth pastor watch

Tennessee:

A Robertson County youth minister and substitute teacher is accused of sexual assault after incidents involving one of his underage students. Police said Timothy Felts, 43, was arrested after encounters with a 16-year-old girl in March. Felts was charged with five counts of sexual abuse by an authority figure.

Police said four of the encounters happened at the North Springfield Baptist Church where he is a youth minister. The fifth incident happened at another church property. Warrants filed against Felts indicate he forced the alleged victim to touch his private parts and fondled her breasts under her clothing.
