Junction City Minister's Son Jordan Young Arrested Twice on Sexual Abuse of Children

People wonder why we do what we do. Well, we do so because we have perverted spirits in the church that can't receive nor live by the word they preach!! When people tell us to be quiet and not air the dirty laundry of men and women of the cloth, we keep moving even stronger.

A Junction City man has been arrested for alleged sex crimes involving children.

Jordan Young, 25, a minister of music in Junction City, was taken into custody at the Junction City Police Department at 11:30 AM on Monday, August 13, 2012.

According to Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown, Young was arrested for:
  • aggravated indecent liberties with a child
  • attempted criminal sodomy
  • and solicitation of a child
Last week, Police Chief Brown confirmed his department is investigating information they received about a local church and this led to Young's arrest. This investigation that is still underway.

Though the police will not release the name of the church due to the sensitivity of the crimes, sources say the church in question is Faith Tabernacle Apostolic Church on Burke Drive in Junction City where Jordan Young is reportedly the minister of music and he also worked in the youth ministry.

Jordan Young is the son of former Faith Tabernacle pastor Edwin Young, who reportedly recently resigned very abruptly.

The church’s new pastor, Nathan Dudley, said he could not comment on any allegations and says he has only been the pastor for several days.

Jordan Young made his first court appearance and is bond was set at $250,000. Geary County Attorney says Young has been ordered to surrender his passports and is not allowed to have contact with anyone under the age of 21. A status hearing has been set for August 21, 2012 at 9 AM.


UPDATE on August 24, 2012: Consequently, we just found out that Jordan Young was arrested for a second time in the same week on August 17.

Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown is confirming the arrest of Jordan Young, 25, Junction City for a second time this week.

Young had already been arrested August 13 on suspicion of aggravated criminal sodomy, aggravated indecent liberties with a child, and sexual solicitation of a child. He has since been re-arrested and incarcerated a second time on suspicion of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, attempted criminal sodomy, and solicitation of a child, again.

During the police ongoing investigation, it was found to be necessary to arrested Young once again on more charges.

The church's new pastor Dudley now states:
"At this time, all that we can say is that there were allegations of misconduct that were presented to us and we immediately turned the information that we had received over to the proper authorities and they began a very thorough investigation of their own which we are fully cooperating with."

Take a listen to Pastor Edwin Young's audio of one of his sermons. Here is an excerpt of what the Youtube video owner said about the clip:
Clip from a sermon by Edwin Young, former pastor of Faith Tabernacle Church, Junction City, KS. It is a 5 minute example of him preaching, where he speaks of not saying anything about a pastor unless it is good, obeying the pastor as he rules, better leave your preacher alone, and you aren't above the pastor.
