The deacon of a church in Edgewood, Harford County has been charged with sexually abusing two teen-age girls.

Investigators say Kevin Rondell Glenn made sexual advances toward the young women, and touched them inappropriately.

Glenn served as a deacon with the “Fountain of Life Fellowship Church” since it was founded eight years ago. The church helps at-risk children and provides services for a number of low-income people in the community. The church’s pastor, Tony McDonald, said he hopes the arrest of a trusted deacon won't end that mission.

Kevin Rondell Glenn is 50 years old. The alleged victims in the case are two girls, ages 17 and 13. Pastor McDonald said until recently, Glenn helped with the church's gang prevention and prayer meetings.

The pastor said he has spoken to Deacon Glenn, but only briefly -- and the deacon told him he could not discuss the abuse case. “My prayer is that he didn't do it, that he did not do - that's my prayer.” Pastor McDonald said.
