DENVER -- A youth pastor in Craig was arrested Monday in connection with the alleged sexual assault of two teen girls he had worked with at First Christian Church, authorities said.

John Graler, 53, is being held without bond at the Moffat County Jail, facing charges of sexual assault, sexual assault on a child and sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust.

Moffat County Sheriffs Office and the Craig Police Department said their investigation has identified two alleged victims, who were between the ages from 13 to 18 when the alleged assaults occurred.

Several people have come forward and provided information to investigators that relates to the investigation, but anyone who has additional information, or who may feel that they have been victimized, is encouraged to call Craig police or the Moffat County Sheriff's Office.

The case is being forwarded to the 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office for filing of formal charges.

Friends, like I have said, whats new? this was going on 2000 years ago in the church. "Why is that? Because, the church is made up of humans, that are sexual beings, as all others, this is a human trait to have sex. and it is natural to have sex male and female. It surely is not un-natural. and God is the God of Nature, what we call natural, is natural. and natural is good. un-natural is not!

Mary had (gave birth)to Jesus at the ripe old age of 13 or 14 years of age. and that was natural...Wasn't it?

Dude,

you completely missted the point of this article, and the arrest.
The charges are very clear. these people dont go to church to be molested... we go to bars, strip clubs and supermarkets in hopes of sexual contact... Not Church.
its the violation of trust and intgrity is the real crime, but we cant charge people for being con men, liers, and manipulators. They actually have to cross the line for us, society, to remove them from the public.

2000 years ago is 2000 years ago. If you havent noticed, we dont live like that anymore. We have socially EVOLVED. We value education over ignorance. So, if you would like to join us here in the here and now, working for the betterment of our current society, we would love to have you,... if not, you are welcome to go back to your cave and cancel your internet subscription.
