WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- Police have charged a 32-year-old Dumfries-area pastor with having a sexual relationship with a teenage girl.
Authorities on July 13 opened an investigation into alleged child abuse and determined that the pastor and the girl, now 17, started a close friendship in September 2007, said Prince William County police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
At the time, Jason Roy Bolton worked at Potomac Crest Baptist Church at 15418 Cardinal Drive in Woodbridge, Perok said.
During the investigation, the girl told police that she and Bolton began a consensual sexual relationship in April, Perok said.
Police said that she and Bolton had "multiple encounters since early 2010."
Bolton resigned from the church in May, Perok said.
Bolton, of 4817 Benicia Lane, was charged with sodomy and was held in lieu of $3,000 bond.
