80-year-old former pastor among three men accused of sexually assaulting minor

Three men are accused of sexually assaulting the same 14-year-old boy. Bellevue police Detective Roy Howell said they all met the minor on a dating app and left a trail of evidence for investigators.

"These crimes do not just stay in Bellevue, they go outside of our jurisdictions," Howell said.

One of the male suspects is from Cass County and two are from Iowa.

Bellevue police first arrested Samuel Morris of Logan, Iowa. Howell said the 55-year-old met up with the minor last December in a Bellevue neighborhood and they allegedly had sex. Howell said someone called BPD to report it, which led to Morris' arrest and prompted Howell to look through the juvenile's phone.

"Through my investigation, (I) was able to determine the victim has met three other individuals," Howell said.
