Maryland Pastor Arrested for Sexually Abusing Minors
William Auburn Jones, 58, a former teacher at Elvaton Christian Academy in Anne Arundel County and current pastor of Jessup Baptist Church, was arrested on July 25 after being accused of sexually abusing at least five students aged 10 to 15 during his employment at the school from 2020 until March 2024. The investigation began on May 1 when police responded to the school following parental reports of inappropriate sexual behavior by Jones. Forensic interviews conducted by Child Protective Services and police identified multiple victims who reported ongoing abuse over several years. Jones is also affiliated with the missionary organization Mission Fields International. He faces charges including sexual abuse of a minor, fourth-degree sexual offense, and child abuse. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Anne Arundel County Child Abuse Unit as the investigation continues.
