Oklahoma Youth Pastor Arrested on Child Sexual Abuse Counts After State Bureau Investigation, KSWO Reports

A former youth pastor in Duncan, Oklahoma has been arrested on two counts of child sexual abuse following an investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, according to KSWO. The station reported that Duncan police asked the state bureau to look into the man in March 2026, and that agents identified him as a suspect during that inquiry.

Citing court documents, KSWO reported that the 27-year-old is accused of inappropriately touching two teenagers on multiple occasions beginning in 2024, including during the period when he served as a youth pastor with a Pentecostal denomination. The documents allege that some of the incidents occurred in connection with church functions and during stays at hotels and short-term rentals, and that he invited one of the teenagers to his home before assaulting him, the station reported.

According to KSWO, court filings also state that a separate teenager reported inappropriate touching in February 2026, after which the man's ministerial license was revoked by his denomination. Other outlets reporting on the case, including Fox 23, said he surrendered to police on October 8 and that bond was set at $100,000, with conditions barring contact with minors.

The charges are allegations and have not been proven in court. notadragqueen.org does not name people accused of these offenses.
