Back in May we reported the arrest of Dexter Hensley for child molestation and sexual battery. We are finding out the pastor at Hensley’s church in Jasper knew about the allegations.
According
to the affidavit, the juveniles told detectives about the alleged
incidents, which they say happened at Jasper Apostolic Church where
Hensley attended.
Jasper
Police say they learned Pastor Howard Geck was made aware of the
allegations two-years ago, but failed to report them to authorities.
Geck
was charged this week with failure to make a report, which is a class B
misdemeanor. By Indiana law, anyone who has reason to believe a child
has been abused must report it to law enforcement or DCS.
