Youth pastor accused of sexual abuse

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - Virginia Beach Police are searching for possible victims after officers arrested a local pastor accused of sexually abusing a teen between 2005 and 2006.

Grazia Moyers with the Virginia Beach Police Department said officers received information from a victim that a youth pastor at Real Life Christian Church sexually abused him when he was 16-years-old. The reported events were said to have occurred at the pastor’s home as well as in hotel rooms during church events.

The suspect, identified as Gregory Douglas Forehand, 40, of Chesapeake has been arrested and charged with indecent liberties with a child in connection to the accusations.

Moyers said investigators learned children would stay at Forehand’s home for church events. Police are searching for anyone who may have been a victim.

10 On Your Side stopped by Forehand's home Tuesday, but no one answered.

Someone at the door of Real Life Christian Church said the church had no comment and that a lawyer had advised members not to speak to the media.

Anyone who feels they may have been a victim or has any information is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP. The case remains under investigation.
