Youth pastor sexually exploited teens to ‘help them gain purity’
A former youth pastor arrested in Iowa on 60 counts of suspicion of sexual exploitation allegedly told teenage boys he was trying to help them gain "sexual purity in the eyes of God."
Thirty-one-year-old Brent Girouex, a former youth pastor at Victory Fellowship Church in Council Bluffs, turned himself in to the police in February after four young men came forward with allegations against him, The Daily Nonpareil reported.

Court documents show Girouex told investigators he had sexual contact with a teenage boy 25 to 50 times over a four-year period, starting when the boy was 14-years-old. He allegedly told investigators that it was his duty as a youth pastor "to help [the teen] with homosexual urges by praying while he had sexual contact with him."

Court documents stated Girouex said during all of the incidents, it was only about “helping the victims gain sexual purity.”
“When they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind,” he allegedly told detectives.
I remembering reading awhile ago that the Pope proclaimed pedophilia wasn't a sin before 1970. Guess this guy didn't get the memo.
