“We are disturbed and saddened by the reports we have heard and we are praying for the Barron family.”

That’s great and all… but, is anyone praying for all those 13-year-olds this perv has come into contact with?

Texas minister charged in online sex sting

BRYAN, Texas (AP) – A minister from a Dallas-area Baptist megachurch was caught in an Internet sex sting and charged with online solicitation of a minor, police said Friday.

Undercover officers posing as a 13-year-old girl communicated with Joe Barron, 52, of Plano for about two weeks. The online conversations were sexual in nature, police said.

On May 6, Barron suggested meeting the girl in person. He eventually made the nearly 200-mile drive to Bryan, Texas, on Thursday, when he was arrested. Police said they found a Web-cam and condoms in his car.
