Oklahoma Youth Pastor Sued After Molestation Arrest

December 1, 2022 Crime, Religion

Fox News reports:

Cody Barlow, a 33-year-old former Wewoka Middle School principal who was arrested in October on child sexual assault charges, is being sued along with the Wewoka School District by an anonymous minor who attended the school and claims that Barlow groomed and abused him, according to KOKH-TV.

“Mr. Barlow had a process of grooming young kids,” attorney Ross Leonoudakis, who is representing the minor, told the outlet. “Grooming young kids to get them comfortable with them, and then sexually abusing them at least on school property.”

The lawsuit alleges that Barlow, who was also a youth pastor, would roughhouse members of the boys’ basketball team and would spend time alone with students in his office. The lawsuit also alleges that Barlow gave special favors and treatment to students he was inappropriately touching, and Leonoudakis believes that there could be other victims.
