A twenty-six-year-old former youth minister is facing up to forty years in prison after pleading guilty to child molestation charges yesterday.  Austin Wray Perkins was the youth minister at Grace Fellowship Baptist Church when he was arrested and charged with felony child molestation and sexual exploitation of children.  According to reports at the time of his arrest, Perkins took the child in his home and molested the boy.  Graphic details of the case indicate that Perkins made videos of himself and the child performing sexual acts. Perkins was arrested in March of 2022 after an investigation by the Floyd County Police Department, the GBI and the U.S. Secret Service.  The court is waiting on the results of a psychosexual evaluation of Perkins before sentencing.
