According to the Blount County jail records, Rev. Kenneth Harold Daniel, 64, of Alabaster, is charged with facilitating solicitation of unlawful sexual conduct with a child.
The affidavit states that the 7-year-old victim reportedly told “her grandfather that Daniel has been sexually abusing her.” Between January 2020 and Oct. 11, 2022, Daniel allegedly touched the victim on her private parts “on numerous occassions” at his residence, a pool party, and at the church.
The grandfather was contacted by Daniel via phone to arrange for the victim to be brought to “the locations of disclosed sexual abuse,’’ according to the affidavit. Daniel also provided the grandfather with directions to those locations.
Documents state that the victim and her grandfather live in Blount County.
Daniel is being held at Blount County Jail.
