A pastor of a Baptist Church has been accused of exposing himself indecently to a 15-year-old girl in a department store.
According to reports, the acting pastor of Woodlawn Baptist Church Kentucky , Kevin Lohse was caught on camera “manipulating his zipper, then exposing his penis to the 15-year-old girl.”
Lohse was arrested after a still image was from the video and posted to Facebook, asking the community to identify the male. All Christian News reports:
That picture quickly received a lot of attention and obvious concern, which resulted in Mr. Kevin Lohse reporting to the police department on Feb. 21, 2014, to turn himself in,” said Reeser.
Lohse was arrested on Wednesday on charges for exposing himself. This incident has shocked the community but the response from social media has contributed to the arrest of Lohse.
“This is a prime example of community policing. Due to an overwhelming number of people who have shared this photo, we now have charges pending against the perpetrator in this case. You are our most valuable resource. Thank you!” the department wrote. While the case is in progress the leadership at the church has to account for another clergyman exposed imperfections. One of the neighbors spoke out about the incident that shocked many in the community.
“People think just because he is a preacher (pause) well, preachers do everything that everyone else is doing,” said Ingrid Sweeney, a neighbor of Woodlawn Baptist Church, according to WBKO. It was reported that Lohse was in the store with his son as he decided to do this irrational act. His actions represent his own issues that don’t represent the church moral foundations.
“It’s not the church. No, it’s him. I feel horrible for his family, he must have gone through some type of depression or something. Something must not have clicked up there,” said Ingrid Sweeney.
