A baptist reverend is facing child molestation charges after allegedly having sexual contact with a girl under the age of 17.
According to police, sometime between August and September of 2017, Reverend Jesse Claybon committed sexual acts with a minor. He was 46 at the time.
Authorities said the contact occurred over the clothing.
Claybon is a reverend at the New Age Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis, and police believe he knew the victim.
