LBC leader provides statement on arrest of former employee

January 7, 2022

By Message staff

ALEXANDRIA, La. (LBM)—Louisiana Baptist Convention Executive Director Steve Horn provided a statement to the Baptist Message about the arrest of former employee Perry Leon Moses.

Moses, 59, and a resident of Deville, Louisiana, was booked by the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office, Jan. 5, on three counts of molesting a juvenile victim, aged 13-16 years old.

Horn said he was alerted, Jan. 3, to inappropriate sexual conduct by Moses, who had served 4.5 years as the maintenance supervisor for the Alexandria facilities of the statewide missions and ministries organization.

“Within two hours, we arrived at work, confronted him with the allegation, which then led to termination of his employment,” he shared. “We later learned that authorities were investigating as to whether the employee had sexual interaction with a minor.”

He subsequently was informed about the arrest.

Horn said he was “heartbroken for the victim and the victim’s family” and that the LBC has offered to help the victim by providing for the services of a licensed counselor of the victim’s choice.

“We are fully cooperating with law enforcement in every way possible, including their request of us not to discuss any further details until their investigation is complete,” he said. “We are praying for God to bring healing to all who have been affected.”

Moses’s bond was set at $300,000, $100,000 for each charged offense, and as of Jan. 6 he was in RPSO custody.
