DALLAS AREA MINISTER RESIGNS IN WAKE OF SEX STING ARREST: Internet investigation uncovers scandal that forces mega-church leader to resign.
The Rev. Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church, said during services that the church accepted Joe Barron's resignation, effective immediately.
Barron was charged Friday with online solicitation of a minor. Undercover officers posing as a 13 year-old girl communicated with the 52 year-old minister for about two weeks. The online conversations were sexual in nature, police said.
On May 6, Barron suggested meeting the girl in person. He drove nearly 200 miles on Thursday to meet her in Bryan, where he was arrested. Police said they found a web-cam and condoms in the minister’s car.
Barron was released from the Brazos County Jail on Friday night on $7,000 bail. Police were unsure if he had an attorney.
Graham said it was a heartbreaking week in which “you need to know that we are appalled and we are disgraced by this terrible action, an unacceptable action, by a minister on our staff.”
Prestonwood Baptist Church is one of the largest churches in the country with 26,000 members and 40 ministers. (source: The Gospel News Wire)
