NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A longtime pastor has been returned to Tennessee to face charges that he molested several children during his time leading a Nashville congregation.

Media reports say Matthew Dennis Patterson was arrested March 8 by Nashville police in Pennsylvania, where he moved after leaving the Tennessee church last September.

Patterson was extradited to Nashville on Friday.

He served as pastor of Nolensville Road Baptist Church. After his resignation, authorities say church members went to police with complaints about his requests to "engage in strange activities" with children.

Anti-LGBTQ pastor arrested on 8 counts of sexual molestation of minors.

Metro Police in Nashville have arrested a long-time pastor with eight counts of aggravated sexual battery for alleged molestation of multiple boys, WBRC News reported Friday.

Matthew Dennis Patterson, 45, who goes by Denny, resigned from Nolensville Road Baptist Church on September 24 and moved to Pennsylvania. Three days later, church members reported to police that Patterson had asked children to sit on his face.

2. Another one...

The loudest anti-gay preachers are so often molesters of little boys.

I expect some of the anti-gay hate groups like "Family Research Council" to have a molester in their ranks, and they covered up for the pervert.

Like the Catholic church STILL does.

As a dull straight white dude* and having a friend who has working in counseling for
years the more I hear somebody who is so upset about gay sex and what would
Jesus think the more I think, "closet case."


* if you are not into homosexual sex than don't do it.

Last time I checked, the only flag these "good people" assclowns salute would probably be the confederate one.

5. Why did they wait until he resigned to go to the police?

14. The good pastor

likely got word from his boss that allegations had been made and an investigation was imminent. Knowing he diddled some kiddie-bits he probably just panicked and fled.

11. Whenever Anybody Is Vocally Anti-Gay

I always suspect them of being secretly gay. They are trying to convince themselves they aren't gay.

12. Is this even illegal in Tennessee?

[vkkv]

13. Why am I not surprised. Seems that only the paranoid & the evil & those who seek to rid themselves

of guilt & those with addictive personalities & those who seek to take advantage of struggling people & those who are so desperate to find peace that they will believe in fairy-tales and willfully join a cult known as a Church.
