Pastor accused of inappropriate sexual contact passes on preliminary hearing

POINT MARION, Pa. — Ray Teets, a pastor at Fallen Timbers Church outside of Point Marion, was about to face two girls police said he had inappropriate sexual contact with when he decided to pass on having a preliminary hearing Tuesday.

Police said the latest two accusers claim the inappropriate contact with Teets happened over the course of several years.  Some of the alleged abuse is said to have happened more than 15 years ago.   

Teets had no comment on Tuesday.  His alleged victims also declined to talk to Channel 11.
