PENSACOLA - A minister charged with soliciting sex on the Internet from an investigator posing as a 14-year-old boy has been relieved of duties until the case is resolved.
Escambia County sheriff's deputies, meanwhile, said they are looking for other possible victims based on information found on two computers belonging to the Rev. Michael Anthony Harris, 42. He was arrested Wednesday and is free on bail.
The Rev. Edward Benoway, bishop of the Tampa Florida-Bahamas Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, plans to meet over the weekend with members of St. Paul's Church in Pensacola, where Harris had been pastor since 2000.
Harris' lawyer did not return a telephone message seeking comment Friday. Harris denied wrongdoing when arrested.
This info is from an AP story from The St. Petersburg Times/State online.
Sigh.
