Pastor Helps Boys Gain 'Sexual Purity'

Iowa: Pastor Brent Girouex of Council Bluffs, Iowa told detectives that he had sex with the four boys he's accused of molesting in order to help them achieve "sexual purity in the eyes of God."

Girouex was arrested on 60 counts of suspicion of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist earlier this month and has been released on a $30,000 bond. He is due back in court on April 21.

Girouex allegedly said as a youth pastor he felt it was his duty “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.
