A 25-year-old man is facing charges after court documents say he had inappropriate contact with a minor while he was serving as a pastor at a Markle church.
Court records show Zachary Luke Petree was charged with child seduction while having a professional relationship with the child, dissemination of matter harmful to minors, and sexual battery. Prosecutors say Petree was acting as a pastor at a church in Markle at the time.
Court documents say between January 1 and February 22, the 16-year-old victim stayed the night at Petree’s home to help him care for his kids. In a “Motion to Enter a Plea of Guilty,” Petree says he showed the teen sexually explicit photos, sent the teen explicit messages, and admitted to having inappropriate contact with the girl.

If the 25-year-old pastor’s plea deal is accepted by a judge, he would serve no more than one year of his sentence in prison.
