APOPKA, Fla. -- Police in Apopka said a 40-year-old man is accused of molesting young children at a church.

Scott Bohl was arrested at the Church of God Prophecy after, investigators said, he touched children inappropriately inside the church.

Bohl claimed he was just tickling the children, police said.

"He's got a number of allegations from a broad number of people and you know, he's going to have his day in court," Ed Chittenden of the Apopka Police Department said.

Detectives said they fear Bohl sexually abused a 4-year-old boy, a 6-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl.

Bohl was taken into custody at the church. He faces several child sex charges.

A man is facing charges after being accused of fondling children at an Apopka church, according to police.

Police arrested 40-year-old Scott Bohl on Saturday on three charges of lewd or lascivious molestation.

Bohl is accused of fondling a 12-year-old girl, a 6-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy. The pastor of Apopka Church of God of Prophecy called police when he suspected a church attendee, Bohl, was inappropriately touching the children.

The father of one of the victims told police that he witnessed Bohl touch his daughter four or five times on the butt on June 22. Police said the father told them that three of the incidents happened in the church sanctuary and once or twice more in the parking lot.

He told police he received a text message from Bohl’s wife later in the week explaining that it was an accident and was not intentional.

During an interview, Bohl told police that he tries having fun with the kids by tickling them and patting them on the butt, according to the arrest report. Police said he told them he often hugs them as a sign of encouragement in a platonic-style relationship.

Police said Bohl denied molesting or fondling the children and said he lives with children and would never bring any harm to them.

Bohl said that if any of the parents thought his behavior was inappropriate, all they had to do was ask him to stop with their child and he would have, according to police. Bohl did not think he was doing anything wrong and he didn’t believe the kids minded, according to the arrest report.

A man previously accused of sexually abusing children in his Apopka church has been arrested again, this time on child molestation charges.

When 42-year-old Scott Bohl was arrested in 2011, the pastor of Apopka Church of God of Prophecy, another church employee and two church members told police that Bohl was suspected of fondling 12- and 6-year-old girls and a 4-year-old boy, a police report shows.

The father of one of the girls told officers he saw Bohl touch his daughter on her clothed buttocks, the report states.

The church employee told police she saw Bohl hug one of the girls, spank her and tickle her and that the girl tried to get away from him. The 6-year-old told an investigator that Bohl had pulled up her skirt, the report shows.

Bohl denied fondling the children but said he playfully spanked them, the investigator wrote.

Those charges against Bohl were dropped. Now, he faces dozens of counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12 years old and lewd conduct by a person over the age of 17.

In the original 2011 arrest report, Bohl was accused of molesting children at his church. At the very end of the report, investigators saw signs of sexual abuse with Bohl's family members and marked the file for follow up.

However, Bohl was only put in jail after a family member recently came forward.


One woman who worked at the church, and was one of the whistle-blowers on Bohl back in 2011, said she was shocked when the state dropped the charges for lack of evidence, because she was never questioned, even though she was a witness.

Because the family lived outside Apopka, police turned the case over to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's office sent it to the state attorney's office, but the state said there wasn't enough evidence to move forward.

The case was revived recently when a family member came forward to say Bohl continued to molest family members, after the previous charges were dropped.

"If he would have went to jail back in 2011, I think the two children in the home could have been helped," said the woman.

Is it normal to not interview all of the witnesses of a reported crime? I mean even if you get the same info from multiple people, isn't it important to make sure you get all of the available info?

And who let's some stranger play physically with their children? If some asshat grabs one of my kids he's not going to get as far as pretend spanking before he's already in need of serious medical care... so am I missing something?
