HANCOCK COUNTY -

A youth pastor and former school board member in Hancock County faces felony charges of child molestation and sexual misconduct with a minor.

Steve Harding is accused of sexual misconduct with a girl whose parents considered the youth pastor a family friend.

Court documents say the encounters occurred when the girl was 13 and 14, at Harding's home and at the New Palestine United Methodist Church.

Our partners at The Indianapolis Star report Harding has also been a wrestling coach in New Palestine.

Harding was arrested this week in Indianapolis. He denies the allegations.
