A now-former Lexington pastor is accused of sex crimes.
According to an arrest citation, 47-year-old Zachary King was arrested Monday on charges of rape, sodomy and sexual abuse.
The citation says King admitted to having a sexual relationship with the victim over the course of a year and a half, starting when she was 15 years old.
Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman’s office says King was the executive pastor at LexCity Church. Video on the church’s webpage showed King preaching as recently as March.
King resigned from his position as pastor after he was confronted by church staff with allegations of an inappropriate relationship, according to the citation.
He was arraigned in Fayette County Tuesday afternoon. His bond was set at $250,000, and he will next appear in court for a preliminary hearing on July 5.
