Kentucky pastor busted for trying to set up threesome with minors

A Kentucky pastor was busted for trying to set up a threesome with two minors who work for him, according to police.

Bobby Blackburn, who is the pastor of Elevate Church, turned himself in on Wednesday on felony charges of prohibited use of an electronic communication system to procure a minor to commit a sex act, the Prestonsburg police department said.

Blackburn, 26, allegedly texted a female employee, who is a minor, to arrange a threesome with her and another underage girl who work at his business.

The police report didn’t state where Blackburn employs the girls, but he’s listed as the owner of a Prestonsburg pizza shop on LinkedIn, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Police said one of the girls showed an officer text messages from the pastor allegedly requesting the threesome and other sexual acts.

A third girl visited the police department and claimed she sent the obscene messages from the pastor’s phone, but later recanted, according to police. She allegedly told officers that Blackburn threatened she would lose her job if she didn’t say she was behind the texts.

Officers went to retrieve Blackburn’s phone through a search warrant, but his relatives claimed the device was tossed into a local river, authorities said.

Blackburn is scheduled to appear in court June 16 for his arraignment. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.

He could not be immediately reached for comment.
