West Virginia Pastor Found Guilty of Reaching Under Woman’s Skirt During Meeting
The court found Jason Lee Allen touched a parishioner during private counseling and ordered him to register as a sex offender for 10 years.
- Jason Lee Allen, pastor of Victory Apostolic Church in Flatwoods, was convicted of sexually motivated battery after a parishioner accused him of reaching under her skirt during a private counseling session.
- Testimony presented during the two-day bench trial in Braxton County Magistrate Court detailed how Allen allegedly touched the leg and thigh of a 24-year-old congregant while alone with her.
- In an interview with investigators, Allen admitted touching the woman's leg, though he claimed he only intended to feel a "scar" on her calf, a justification the victim disputed.
- Allen must register as a sex offender for 10 years and faces a potential sentence of up to one year in jail following the conviction.
- Sentencing for the case is scheduled for May 27, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. before Magistrate John "Eric" Skidmore, who presided over the investigation by the West Virginia State Police.
