Thomas Weaver, who joined Saint Matthews United Methodist Church in 2001, forced the victim to meet him in a secluded area in Annandale where he sexually assaulted the victim multiple times, Fairfax County police said. 

Detectives executed a search warrant at Weaver’s home and recovered numerous images of child pornography, they said. He was being held at the Adult Detention Center without bond.

Weaver had periodically been a leader in youth activities but has not held that position since 2020.
