Authorities take up 5 additional allegations of sex crime against the former representative of the Faith's Laborous Church

by

Mount Vernon – A former official of the Faithbenskirche, who is currently imprisoned in Licking County, was charged with additional sexual crimes against minors.

Gary Thomas “Tom” Keesee Jr., 36, will be exposed to five additional rapes and sexually related fees on Monday after an Eroll.

Keesee was previously charged with 27 sexual abuse counts, including 11 rapes of the first degree.

He is now faced with 32 cases of sexual abuse, including 13 first degree crimes, 14 crimes of third degrees and five allegations of fourth degree.

The five additional fees include two rapes and three rough sexual imposition.

The authorities claim that the recent incidents had taken place between June 30, 2008 and June 29, 2012, in which a minor “less than 13 years old age” is involved and they made the latest allegations against the former media officer of the church chairman.

The suspect is the son of Gary and Drenda Keesee, co-pastors of the church in New Albany. DRENDA KEESEE is also a commissioner of Knox County.

Keesee resigned with his church post in August 2024.

This is a developing history and is updated.
