The Sparta pastor accused of sexual assault made his first appearance in court Friday.
46-year-old Travis Becknell is charged with felony sexual exploitation by a therapist and a misdemeanor charge of fourth degree sexual assault.
Becknell appeared in a Monroe County courtroom by Zoom.
His signature bond is set for $25,000.
While out on bond, Becknell is not allowed to have contact with the victim, referred to as L.N.K. He also can't commit acts or threats of violence, or work in any role involving counseling, therapy, or psycho-therapy.
Meanwhile, the church where Becknell used to preach, Berean Way Church, is closing its doors for good.
Friday the church held a rummage sale to sell the contents of its building.
The money made from the sale will be donated to a non-profit.
