Members of a south Sacramento church are defending their pastor who was arrested Friday on charges of child molestation.

To many members of Praise Tabernacle church on 44th Street, pastor Frederick Dew remains a man of God, despite his brush with the law.

Police charged Dew, 34, with the sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy. The alleged attack happened last week in the restroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. Library on 24th Street.
