A 70-year-old Independent fundamentalist Baptist pastor is being held on a $750,000 bond after being charged with multiple sex crimes against his own relatives, according to KMBC News:

“Wade Booth was arrested in Linn County, Kansas, on four counts of child sex crimes including aggravated incest and aggravated intimidation of a witness/victim.

The incident or incidents occurred between Jan. 1, 2026, and July 31, 2026, according to a criminal complaint.”

Booth, who has pastored the church for 20 years, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted.

A statement from the church explains “Wade Booth confessed to what he did,” and so “there is no argument from the church regarding innocence or an attempt to defends his actions.”
