Pastor had sex with teens to cure their homosexuality

[Neil E. Wright]

A former youth pastor in Council Bluffs, Iowa, says he had sex with teenage boys because it was his pastoral duty “to help (the teen) with homosexual urges bypraying while he had sexual contact with him.”

But law enforcement has a different view of his actions. Earlier this month, Brent Girouex, 31, was arrested on 60 counts of suspicion of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist, reported The Daily Nonpareil.

In February, Girouex told Council Bluffs police detectives that he had sexual contact with four young men starting in 2007 in order to help them gain “sexual purity in the eyes of God.”

But Pottawattamie County Attorney Matt Wilber told the Nonpareil that at least eight men have come forward with complaints that Girouex molested them.

Court documents indicated Girouex told investigators the most sexual contact he had was with one teen over a four-year period, starting when the boy was 14 years old. Calling the contact “mutual,” he said it had occurred between “25 and 50 times” during that period.

When investigators spoke to the teen, who’s now an adult, he told them the number was between 50 and 100.

Three other young men who were teenagers when the incidents occurred told investigators the sex occurred at Girouex’s home. All said they went to be helped with “sexual purity.”

“When they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind,” Girouex allegedly told detectives.

Wilber said investigators are following leads to see if there are more victims. Girouex is currently free on $30,000 bond.

lol. Yeah. That's one smart "authority," Cronos. His "findings" are ludicrous. Much like your posts.

Yep an accusation is only as good as your source.. in this case not so much good

Yes, and toss in the ex-Catholic "priests" and other denomination pastors/priests who do this -- give them the death penalty because in any case, as shepherds who harmed their flock they're going to burn in the hottest parts of hell.

There is no such thing as an EX priest.. they are a priest forever,,

The difference here is that the minute the pastor of the church found out about the molestations he called in the police and the guy was arrested.

That’s how it’s done in non-criminal churches who don’t hide pederasts under long cossacks of clerical pretense.
