Prestonwood Baptist Church Minister Arrested in Sex Case

Prestonwood Baptist Church minister Joe David Barron has been arrested for soliciting sex from a minor. Police say Barron used the Internet to arrange to have sex with what he believed was a 13-year-old girl.

Barron, 52, drove 3 hours from Plano, Texas to Bryan to have sex with the minor. When he arrived he was arrested by undercover officers. His car was searched and officers found condoms, religious CDs and a webcam.

 

The minister was taken to a nearby jail and later released on $7,000 bond.

 

“We are disturbed and saddened by the reports we have heard and we are praying for the Barron family. We are fully cooperating with the police in their investigation,” said the church in a statement.
