ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — A youth pastor from the Orlando area is accused of raping a young girl.
Samuel Pierre, 35, was arrested Tuesday and remains in the Orange County Jail.
The girl's mother told Orange County Sheriff's investigators that Pierre picked up her daughter in August to attend a youth group at Tabernacle of Prayer and Miracles International Church.
She said after that night her daughter started "acting different."
The woman said when she asked about her change in behavior, her daughter said that Samuel took her to his house instead of the youth group meeting. At some point she said he took her into a bedroom and raped her. Afterward, he told her not to tell anyone.
Pierre is charged with sexual battery on a child under 12.
