Police said there are at least two victims but there may be others.
Leaders at Reeder Memorial Church said Webber was a member, but held no official title and did not work with children.
“We work with people who have difficulties,” Pastor Don Steger said. “We cannot force people. That’s not a requirement for being a member of the church. But we certainly make it available and it was certainly made available to Mr. Webber.”
Police said that Webber is a registered sex offender in North Carolina.
Neither church leaders nor police would say if the victims were members of the church.
Police say that their investigation is continuing and that they are checking into whether or not there are any other victims.
