According to Lt. Mike Westbrooks of the , Stacy Lee Everett, 42, of Covington, is charged with one count each of child molestation, felony sexual battery, cruelty to children and false imprisonment. Westbrooks said the charges stem from an investigation that began out of state.

"The victim, who is now 14 years old, was 12 at the time of the incident," Westbrooks said, adding the incident is alleged to have taken place within the Loganville city limits two years ago, which is why it is being handled by the LPD.

Westbrooks also confirmed that prior to 2007, Everett was the youth pastor at a Walton County church but his ordainship was revoked following a 2007 arrest for an unrelated incident.

"He also coached Little League football in Walton County prior to  2007," Westbrooks said.

Everett was picked up from the Hall County detention center by Walton County authorities yesterday and is now being held in Walton County.
