CROWN POINT, Ind. — The former pastor of an East Chicago church faces two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor for allegedly having sex with a teenage girl.

Authorities allege that Chester Mulligan, 58, now of Fort Sill, Okla., first had sexual intercourse with the girl, then 14, in July 1997. They say the abuse continued until June 2001.


The woman, now 20, told police Mulligan gave her money and gifts and when she tried to stop having sexual relations with him he would give her more money, according to a probable cause affidavit.


Mulligan, who is in custody in Comanche County, Okla., awaiting extradition to Indiana, resigned from the Central Baptist Church in December 2001, a secretary at the church told The Times of Munster for a story today.
