Residents pray for child abuse victims

Dozens of citizens from across Bibb County gathered at a church to pray for the victims of a child sexual abuse operation Sunday.

The event was held at the First Presbyterian Church in Centerville. Organizers say attendees offered prayers for the six victims who were drugged and molested in an underground bunker in the town of Brent.

At least seven adult suspects are currently facing charges.
