A young Texas boy was keeping a dark secret for many years. The courageous child, from Abilene, finally got up the nerve to speak out, coming forward asking for help. When the victim spoke, those around him listened. The child went into detail about what he endured over a long period of time at the hands, allegedly, of Jeffrey Forrest. The victim, according to police, said Forrest was sexually abusing him.

Quickly, an investigation kicked off into the allegations and in the small town of Abilene word spread quickly. During this time, other victims came forward, police say. What investigators soon realized was Forrest was involved with several churches and had access to dozens of victims.

On April 2, 2015, Forrest was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child. Authorities say he posted bond and was released, but he didn't stick around long. Forrest fled and has been on the run ever since. US Marshals consider him armed and dangerous.
