Allahdjinn Wright was a Baptist minister at a local church who had volunteered for youth programs.

Another teen told police he found a video on Wright’s phone of a 15-year-old girl performing a sex act on him in what appeared to be Wright’s vehicle in February.

The victim told police the filmed instance was the only physical sexual contact they had, but said that he also solicited sexual pictures from her.

Wright initially denied it was him in the video, but has since confessed, according to prosecutors.

He faces charges of aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
