WETUMPKA, Ala. (AP) — The minister of a Wetumpka church is in jail today charged with sexually abusing two young girls. Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin said 38-year-old Garett Albert Dykes, also of Wetumpka, is charged with three counts of sexual abuse, three counts of production of obscene matter of someone under 17 and one count of sodomy.
Franklin said Dykes admitted he had inappropriate contact with the two girls under the age of ten. He said a parent of one of the girls contacted his office about the alleged abuse.
Dykes, who served as pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, is in the Elmore County Jail in lieu of one-point-five (m) million dollars bond.
Franklin said additional charges could be filed.

Ugly stuff....Yes. But, if there is a bright side it is that he is cooperating and admitting to everything.

Here is the headline the
old media will never publish,
PEDOPHILES SEEK ACCESS TO CHILDREN!
They're to busy bashing the Church and the Boy Scouts to use common sense.

This can't be true! I've been told that celibacy is the reason clergymen become molesters!!! (insert Catholic sarcasm here)
Seriously, this man is a monster. They should bury him under the jail.

There are various degrees of darkness here--that's it.

Looks like this guys is one.

I imagine he won't last long in jail. Pedophiles generally don't. If that were so there wouldn't be lists of convicted pedophile sex offenders in every state with names and addresses.
(Thousands of them)

Are you serious?Yes. At least he won't run this out with a long investigation and trial, prolonging the trauma on these kids.
