Man Arrested A Third Time For Molesting Kids At Church Events
A Redmond, Washington man accused of molesting at least two children at church events has been arrested a third time while also being suspected in four more incidents.
Buckland Darrell, 44, had groomed and molested children affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Redmond. Darrell's online presence on Flickr seems to focus on young boys. In 2020, he allegedly molested a 6-year-old boy while sitting next to him at a church service.
KIRO reports:
Redmond police re-arrested a man last week for allegedly having sexual contact with minors, the police department announced Monday.
Buckland Darrell, 44, was arrested on April 11 and charged with four counts of first-degree child molestation involving three victims. He is being held in the King County Jail on $500,000 bail.
Redmond police detectives previously arrested Darrell in March after he allegedly had sexual contact with a boy in 2020 while attending a church in Redmond. Darrell was also arrested for child molestation involving another victim in December 2022. He was released on bail in both cases.
