Washington:

A youth football coach with the Black Hills Junior Football League was arrested Monday night on suspicion of molesting and attempting to rape a 14-year-old player on his team after he drove the boy and his younger brother home from a game Saturday, court papers state. Derwin Pasley, 32, a coach with the league for nine years, was arrested on suspicion of attempted third-degree child rape, third-degree child molestation and unlawful imprisonment with sexual motivation.... According to court records, Pasley was arrested on suspicion of a felony sex offense against a child in Miami-Dade County, Fla., in 1994. He subsequently was acquitted of the two counts of sexual battery of a minor, Olympia Police Cmdr. Tor Bjornstad said. In 2002, the Olympia Police Department conducted a criminal investigation into whether Pasley committed a sex offense against a child, but the Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office decided not to file charges based on a lack of evidence, Bjornstad said. Bjornstad said the 2002 complaint against Pasley involved behavior that occurred when he was acting in some capacity as a youth pastor.

A misdemeanor charge was dismissed Tuesday morning against a former youth minister and Richmond city building inspector accused of molesting two members of his Anderson County youth group. Gordon H. Lunceford, 47, appeared Tuesday before Anderson Circuit Judge Charles Hickman for a pretrial conference on charges that Lunceford molested two teenage members of the Lawrenceburg First Baptist Church youth group while serving as minister to the group in 1992.

Pugh once served as youth minister at the Arnoldsville Baptist Church. He was acquitted in 2006 of molesting a 14 year old girl who attended the church.
