Police say the investigation into Dyal goes back more than 20 years and includes evidence for crimes they believe happened in the early 90s.While investigators were making the arrest of Dyal, additional warrants were being served in Oklahoma. Jerome Teschendorf, 68, who was arrested in Newalla, Oklahoma, and Vernon Williamson, 85, who was arrested in Ardmore, Oklahoma, have both now been extradited to Jacksonville.
Teschendorf and Williamson are also affiliated with Dyal’s church and are also facing two counts each of sexual battery on a child. They have not yet been arraigned. “The investigation revealed both long-term sexual and physical abuse of minors in the church spanning a period of over thirty years,” the Sheriff’s Office said in its news release in March.JSO said that through the course of the investigation, the police “have identified and spoken to numerous victims and witnesses.” As a result, the Sheriff’s Office said, police believe there are additional suspects.
