After the boy finished telling his father about the "secret", the boy's father confronted Brown about the allegations.

According to the complaint, the father said Brown did not deny the allegations and told him it "just happened" and it "started in the shower one day".

The complaint also states that Brown had sent an apologetic message to a group chat that included the boy's mother.

Screenshots of the message were shared with police and transcribed in the complaint, which reads in part:

"I know no amount of words or actions can undo the damage that I have done. I can only express my shame and disgust in what I have done."

Brown had been the pastor at Grace Baptist Chapel for 18 years. He will be in court Friday.
