United Methodist Pastor Arrested for Second-Degree Statutory Sodomy
United Methodist Church leaders in Kansas say they investigated allegations three years ago that Sarcoxie pastor Donald Peckham sexually abused children while ministering at four churches in that state from 1958 to 1972. Peckham, 71, pastor of the Jubilee Christian Fellowship in Sarcoxie, remained in custody Tuesday at the Jasper County Jail in Carthage on a charge of second-degree statutory sodomy. Prosecutors allege in the charge filed last Wednesday that Peckham molested a 14-year-old boy in 1996. He is being held on $15,000 bond.Sponsored Links:
