Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……A New Jersey pastor accused of raping and impregnating a young girl has returned to the United States.Jacob Malone, 33, had missed his first flight back from Ecuador.
Malone, who lived in Exton and worked at Calvary Fellowship Church in Downingtown was put behind bars after he arrived from Ecuador in Newark, New Jersey, NBC 10 reports.
He was arrested at Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday, and was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, according to Philly.com.
He will next be extradited to Pennsylvania, West Whiteland police said.
Authorities pressed charges against Malone last week and announced their search for him on Monday, after they believed he had fled the area.
Malone was a pastor in Minnesota when he invited a 17-year-old girl to live with him, according to the West Whiteland Police Department. The two initially had met when the girl was 12 at the pastor’s old church in Mesa, Arizona.
In June 2014 the girl moved to Minnesota, and Malone attempted inappropriate contact, police said.
They moved to Chester County the next month, and Malone registered the girl in a local high school.
The sexual assaults began in the fall of 2014 at Malone’s residence on Atherton Drive, according to police.
Malone allegedly gave her alcohol multiple times after she turned 18, and one of the molestations occurred after she had become drunk.
