JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A retired pastor and college president was arrested Friday evening, accused of molesting two girls in his church office decades ago.

Robert Gray is being held on capital sexual battery charges after two women came forward and told investigators he molested them when they were children. The women are now in their 30s and 40s.

The Rev. Bob Gray spent years as pastor of Trinity Baptist Church on Hammond Boulevard on the Westside. He founded Trinity Baptist College in 1974 and was president of the school for nearly 20 years.

Gray is still active in Bible conferences around the country and is well known around the country for his long involvement in Baptist organizations.

According to the arrest report, the two women said Gray touched them inappropriately inside his church office when they were of early elementary-school age.

"The suspect offered her money and candy after these incidents and threatened the victim not to tell," according to the police report.

Police said other women have come forward accusing Gray of sexual abuse. The report goes on to say that Gray "admitted to 'French kissing' several girls in his office at school years ago."
