The Tallahassee Democrat reports:
The Leon County Sheriff’s Office arrested a church employee for allegedly assaulting a teenager who attended the church he served at.
Hunter Eubanks, 30, was arrested Wednesday on charges of sexual assault of a minor, cruelty toward a child, aggravated battery on a child, use of a computer to lure a child, obscene communication and travel to meet after using a computer to lure a child. He is being held in the Leon County Detention Facility.
According to a LCSO news release, Eubanks committed “multiple sexual acts” on a 16-year-old, which occurred on church grounds between July and October. Detectives have been investigating since Oct. 9 before issuing a warrant for his arrest.
Read the full article. Local police originally called Eubanks a youth pastor but have since amended their press release to describe him as a “worship leader.” But the church’s now-deleted biography said that he served in the church’s “youth and college ministries.”

Mentions of Eubanks were scrubbed from Morningside Church’s leadership page on the church’s website. Many outlets are reporting that he was also the youth pastor.
