A Texas man accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl is stepping down as school board president after being accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl.

Andrew Wilborn, 43, was a church pastor in Dallas and president of the Prosper ISD school board. He is accused of indecency with a child.

Wilborn’s church, Antioch Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church, severed ties with him shortly after the allegations were made last year.

And on Friday night, the school district announced that Wilborn had resigned, effective immediately. He was elected to the board in 2021.
