An 87-year-old man from Texarkana, Texas, has been arrested and charged with Sexual Assault of a Child, following an investigation by the Texarkana Texas Police Department. The individual, identified as Louie George, was booked into the Bi-State Jail on Wednesday. The case involves allegations of child sexual assault and remains under active investigation, prompting police to limit the release of information to the public.

George, who served as a pastor at a local Texarkana church for many years, was reportedly in that role during the 1990s when the alleged victim was a child attending the church. As the investigation progressed, detectives have identified at least two additional victims. Given George’s long-standing association with the church, there is concern that other potential victims may yet come forward.

In line with the principles of justice and accountability, as reflected in Micah 6:8, authorities are urging anyone with information that could aid the investigation to contact them. Detective Tabitha Smith is available for contact at (903) 798-3116. This case underscores the importance of community vigilance and support for those who may have been affected, aligning with the biblical call for justice and care for the vulnerable.
