The search is on for the former pastor at Bethel Baptist church near Arnold, after molestation charges were filed against him.
Craig Sisson is accused of molesting an 11 year old girl. The girl says Sisson put his hand up her shirt while the two sat on the couch in her parents home last May. Sisson is charged with one count of first degree child molestation.
The girl’s father, who we are not identifying, tells NewsChannel 5, “How can you sit and preach to a group full of children to do the right thing and don’t let any boy touch you but the pastor can. That’s just sick.”
