Rev. Darrell Gilyard, pastor of the Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida surrendered to police on Monday and was charged with sending sexually explicit text messages to a teenage girl.
Pastor George Harvey has been an outspoken critic of Gilyard since he came to Jacksonville 14 years ago after another church-related sex scandal in Texas. Harvey said he is appalled by the allegations.
After the mother of the 14-year-old went to the Sheriff's Office, she was asked why she waited a month to lodge her complaint with police. She said she'd been told the church was going to handle the matter, the report said.
