Fairfax County police have arrested a Kentucky man over allegations that he sexually assaulted two boys while serving as a pastor in northern Virginia.

Police say 64-year-old Tommy Shelton of Marion, Kentucky turned himself in to authorities Tuesday. Shelton faces two counts of aggravated sexual battery, two counts of indecent liberties with a minor and sodomy charges.

Shelton was the pastor of Community Church of God in Dunn Loring from 1995 to 2000. Police say in March 2008, a 27-year-old man reported that he had been molested by Shelton when he was 12 to 14 years old. Later that year, a 22-year-old man contacted police, also saying that he had been molested by Shelton when he was eight to nine years old.

Detectives secured warrants for Shelton last month.
