Updated May 04, 2018 08:20 AM

A Centerville pastor faces new child molestation charges days before finishing a 35-day jail sentence for a misdemeanor sexual battery conviction against a 9-year-old girl.

Wiley Green Leverett, 58, preacher at Solid Rock Community Church, is charged with two counts of child molestation and one count each of sexual battery and enticing a child for indecent purposes. All the charges are felonies.

Leverett is accused of enticing a young girl into the church sanctuary to pray and then fondling her, according to arrest warrants. He's also accused of inappropriately touching the girl's private parts while he sat on a toilet in a church restroom.

Edwards said the girl, now a teenager, was 6 or 7 at the time of the alleged acts. The alleged acts occurred between March 1, 2011, and Nov. 30, 2011, according to warrants.

And, between 2011 and now...how many others? He's already been found guilty in another case.
