Former Youth Pastors Arrested on Child Sex Abuse Charges
Thomas Pinkerton Jr., a former youth pastor in Maryland, was arrested and charged with sexually abusing at least six teenagers between 2006 and 2010, with allegations including inappropriate touching and kissing, as part of a broader investigation into abuse within the Assemblies of God denomination. Pinkerton, who has worked across multiple states and internationally, denies the charges, and authorities believe there may be more victims.
