INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - An Indianapolis minister has been charged with bigamy and told to register as a sex offender because of an earlier conviction for molesting a child.
Police say 36-year-old Spencer Osborne was arrested yesterday and is being held in jail on $15,000 bond.
A sign at the New Covenant Baptist Church on the east side of Indianapolis indicates Osborne is an assistant pastor there.
Police Lieutenant Dave Young says the investigation began several months ago with an anonymous tip that Osborne was married to two women. Investigators later learned Osborne was convicted in 1993 for molesting a 7-year-old girl. That was before Indiana’s sex offender registry was established.
