A Forsyth County pastor has been arrested on charges he molested two young teens.
Derek Gillett, 38, of Alpharetta was arrested at his home in Cherokee County near the Forsyth County line March 7 on two counts of aggravated child molestation and two counts of sodomy.
He is being held in the Cherokee Adult Detention Center with no bond.
Gillette is the pastor of the Cornerstone Community Church in Forsyth County, which holds services in Midway Elementary School. Before leaving to start Cornerstone, he worked as a youth pastor with Midway United Methodist Church in Forsyth County.
Sgt. Jay Baker, a spokesman for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, said one of the young teens involved in the case "confided to a friend, and that family reported the incident."
To protect the identity of the teens, the Sheriff's Office is not releasing their relationship to Gillett. However, he did say they were not members of his congregation.
There are no reports of additional victims, and Baker said the Sheriff's Office is not aware of any other arrests for similar charges involving Gillette.
