Description
A shocking scandal is unfolding in Polk County as a former school district chaplain and hospice pastor faces multiple charges after allegedly grooming a 14-year-old via dating apps and Instagram, then sexually abusing him at his Eagle Lake home — while secretly being HIV positive and failing to disclose his status. Investigators also revealed another adult victim, a 26-year-old, who similarly had unprotected sex with the pastor. With the pastor’s history of working with Polk County Public Schools from 2012 to 2024, authorities are warning others who may have been involved to seek medical help immediately and come forward — they’re offering support and protection.
