NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Police said they are looking for a child rapist posing as a minister who was last seen in Nashville.

They said convicted rapist Brian Bernard Hunter poses a youth minister to get close to children.

“Oh, we want him very badly. Here is a person who has ingratiated himself with people who trust him,” said Metro police spokeswoman Kris Mumford.

Hunter was arrested by police in October and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor -- a 12-year-old boy was with him.

His Nashville probation officer said he hasn’t seen Hunter since then.

Police said they are investigating another sexual assault charge involving a 10-year-old boy.

Memphis authorities said Hunter is wanted in connection with the abuse of a 13-year-old boy there.

“An offender just can’t offend if there’s another adult,” said Greg Sporer.

Sporer is the founder of Keeping Kids Safe, an organization that helps church leaders become more proactive with identifying those who sexually abuse young people.

“Parents are real trusting. God did not call us to give unconditional trust to people, he called us to love people,” Sporer said.

Police said Hunter is known to frequent black churches and that he is still in Nashville.
