An Alabama youth minister was arrested this week after he allegedly threatened to kill himself and his wife if the 13-year-old girl he repeatedly raped didn’t give him nude pictures.

The girl attended Terry Lewayne Murphree’s church, AL.com reported.

Murphree, 39, is charged with nine counts a clergy member having sex with a child, three counts of sexual abuse, and one count each of first degree rape, electronic solicitation of a child, human trafficking, traveling to meet a child for sex, and first degree attempted sodomy, Blount County court records say.

Murphree’s wife filed for divorce last month, according to AL.com, which said the name of the church where Murphree worked was not named in the court documents.

Charging documents say Murphree raped the girl multiple times beginning in March and continuing through June. The acts took place at the unnamed church, at Murphree’s home, and at the victim’s home. There were at least seven incidents and possibly as many as 15, according to court records.

Prosecutors say Murphree contacted the girl via Snapchat, demanding nude photos and threatening to harm himself and his wife if the girl didn’t comply.

“The defendant served in a position of trust within the community – a youth minister,’’ Assistant District Attorney Scott Gilliland wrote in a motion asking the court to deny bond, “and abused that position of trust to exploit a child in his care.”
