CLARKSBURG, W.Va. — The wife of a former youth pastor accused of multiple crimes against children was in court this week.
Kathy Radcliff, accused as an accessory in the crimes of John Radcliff II, will not return to court until February 3 following a continuance.
Her husband is accused of sexually abusing multiple young girls under the age of five for many years — some of them were his nieces. He is accused of performing sexual acts on the girls, assaulting them in multiple ways and having them perform sexual acts on him during their childhoods. The accusations date from 1987 to 2003.
John Radcliff is facing almost 100 charges between Harrison, Lewis, Braxton and Nicholas counties. His proceedings were continued until February.
The original charge against Kathy, displaying obscene matter, was dismissed Nov. 2024.
