PBC minister Joe Barron
That was awful quick: Prestonwood Baptist Church has all but eradicated the name Joe Barron from its Web site — and with good reason, as today the Bryan-College Station Eagle has the news that the 52-year-old Barron, listed as a Minister of Married Adult III on this cached “leadership & staff” page, was “arrested in Bryan early Thursday after he drove more than three hours to have sex with a person he thought was a 13-year-old girl, police said.”
KTVT-Channel 11 has a statement issued this a.m. by the 20,000-member-strong megachurch’s executive pastor, Mike Buster: “We are disturbed and saddened by the reports we have heard and we are praying for the Barron family.
