A Culpeper grand jury has indicted Baptist minister Charles V. Shifflett on five counts of cruelty and injuries to minors and two counts taking indecent liberties with children.

Two of the cruelty charges had been dropped by a lower court, but were brought to circuit court by Commonwealth Attorney Gary Close as direct indictments.

All the charges involve students who attended Calvary Baptist Academy in the late 1980s and 1990s.

Shifflett, 54, was pastor of Calvary Baptist Church at the time and the school was part of that congregation's outreach ministry.
