Florida pastor accused of sex with a child and hiding HIV-positive status

Timothy Chaneyfield, 42, a pastor at St. James United American Free Will Baptist Church, was arrested while disembarking a flight at Orlando International Airport on July 29.

Timothy Chaneyfield, 42, apparently came clean after grooming and sexually abusing the 14-year-old on three different occasions at his Eagle Creek home, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said at a press conference on Tuesday.

“Dope-smoking pedophile preacher” Timothy Chaneyfield had sex with an underage boy without telling them he was HIV positive, Florida officials say.
