CRESCENT (AP) — A church pastor has been charged in Logan County with five counts of lewd molestation of foster children and his wife is charged with child neglect.
Prosecutors say 71-year-old Edwin House sexually abused two 14-year-old girls when he and his wife were foster parents. His wife — 64-year-old Lovenia House — is accused of not protecting the girls.
Defense attorney Warren Plunk says the House's are innocent. Edwin House says his congregation supports him and he has no plans to leave.
House is pastor of Light House Church of God in Christ in Crescent. The church's Web site says he started the church in 1984.
