The case against a former youth pastor accused of fondling young girls is on it's way to a grand jury.

A Staunton juvenile and domestic relations court judge certified the charges against Steven Bruce Joplin Tuesday morning.

The 59 year old used to be the director of Christian education at Christ United Methodist Church in Staunton.

Staunton police arrested him in August after the initial allegations involving a ten-year-old.

A few days later, Joplin was charged again after four more victims came forward.

He's facing a total of seven counts of aggravated sexual assault. A Staunton grand jury will hear the case later this month.
