James Harris, Youth Counselor Charged With Child Molestation

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- A local youth counselor is accused of having an ongoing sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy.

Police said James Ben Harris,33, worked with children at Lawrenceville's Brookwood Baptist Church in Gwinnett County.

Investigators said Harris met the victim in his Sunday school class and that the two had gone on trips together.

Harris was arrested and charged with six counts of child molestation.

Police arrested Harris at the church Friday after the boy's parents found explicit text messages between the two.
