Sexual Abuse
POLICE/COURTS
St. Louis Post Dispatch/September 26, 1992
Clayton: A former minister at Gospel Assembly Church in southwest St. Louis County is scheduled to stand trial this
spring on charges that he molested three girls at the church in 1987 or 1988. The former minister, Thomas Jolly, 82, of
Belleville, had been charged originally with sexually abusing two girls, ages 9 and 13. A third girl has since come
forward with allegations of abuse; a St. Louis County grand jury indicted Jolly last month on additional charges of
second-degree sexual abuse and two counts of sodomy. The indictment says the girl was 12 or 13 years old when she
was sexually abused at the church, 13169 Tesson Ferry Road, between Sept. 1, 1987, and October 15, 1987. Jolly is
free on bond.
