Va. ex-pastor charged with molesting boys

A 64-year-old former pastor has turned himself in to Fairfax County police after being charged with molesting two boys.

Tommy Shelton was the pastor at the Community Church of God in Dunn Loring from 1995 through 2000, police said. In March 2008, a 27-year-old man told police he had been molested by Shelton when he was 12 to 14 years old, authorities said. A 22-year-old man told police in November 2008 that Shelton had molested him while he was 8 and 9.

Police said warrants were issued for Shelton in February following an extensive investigation.
