A convicted child molester working as a pastor at a Pottstown YWCA is facing charges for failing to register under Megan's Law, authorities said.

Guy Jones, 42, is a convicted child molester who was working as a pastor after serving time in prison.

Investigators said Jones is facing charges after failing to register under Megan's Law.

According to police, Jones worked as a pastor of the City of Refuge Baptist Church, which rented space at the Pottstown YWCA.

"This is a situation where someone gave us information and we followed up on it, and someone in the community knew what he was doing and knew it was something about his background, they provided information and police were able to follow up on it," Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said.

Jones is currently awaiting trial for assault, unlawful contact with a minor, and child endangerment stemming from an incident at his home in February of last year.

The YWCA said it plans to review its procedures for renting space.
