Texas Gospel Singer Arrested On Child Sex Charges

San Antonio’s ABC affiliate reports:

A Boerne-area music school owner and member of a local church band has been arrested on child sex crime charges. Gareth Goode was taken into custody on Friday on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child, indecency with a child and harassment.

The investigation into Goode started when a woman came forward in June 2021 to file a report about a past sexual assault of her daughter, according to an offense report from the Bandera County Sheriff’s Office.

Goode is also listed as a band member of the St. John Lutheran Church in Boerne. The church said it was aware of the allegations but did not immediately release more information.

Guitar-driven praise songs framed by the Lutheran liturgy create a contemporary worship feel while maintaining a traditional message. Come check out our Praise Service…we know you’ll love it!” Photos of Goode performing with his band have been removed.
