Youth Pastor Charged with Online Enticement | Lexington News

A Lincoln County youth pastor is facing federal charges after confessing to a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl from his church’s youth group. Jason Coulter, 48, reportedly initiated contact via TikTok and Snapchat, describing their interactions as “helping and encouraging,” but prosecutors say he used electronic means to entice a minor — a crime carrying a mandatory 10-year minimum in federal prison. He’s already been charged at the state level with sodomy and possession of child abuse material. The FBI affidavit details how the enticement occurred within Kentucky’s Eastern District, and while the investigation continues, federal prosecutors are preparing for indictment — potentially locking him away for life.
