NEWARK — A former Millersport church pastor accused of having sex with a 16-year-old congregant was released from jail after posting bond Monday.
Daniel L. Monk, 47, last known address 1025 Kelly Drive, Hebron, was charged with sexual battery, a third-degree felony, after reportedly admitting to kissing and engaging in sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old girl at least twice, according to court records.
On Aug. 28, the Hebron Police Department received a call from the girl’s mother, saying she had noticed an inappropriate relationship between her daughter and Monk, Hebron police Lt. Larry Brooks said.
Monk resigned as the pastor at Souls Harbor Pentecostal Church, 12180 Lancaster St., Millersport, and surrendered his license that affiliated him with the Pentecostal church about a week before his arrest, said J. Mark Jordan, supervisor of the United Pentecostal Church’s Ohio District. Monk and his family founded the church about five years ago, he added.
“We’re very distraught about this situation,” Jordan said.
Monk, who had counseled the girl, had sent the girl text messages at odd hours of the morning, according to court records. The mother also caught her daughter sneaking out of the house to meet him at 5:30 a.m., according to court records.
