A Dodge City woman who brought a videotape recording to the Dodge City Police Department earlier this month, allegedly depicting a local minister and her former boss sexually assaulting her, is telling her side of the story, recalling the abuse and how it all began.
The woman said the trouble began when she started volunteering at New Hope Compassion Ministries USA/International distribution center located at 1311 First Ave. New Hope was established as an extension of New Hope Dodge City based ministry — a center turned "thrift store" when it began providing clothes, furniture, toys, personal items etc. to those in need.
Through her volunteering, the opportunity for a paid position presented itself and she became an employee at New Hope with local Pastor and New Hope director, Dr. Jerry Ketner, as her boss. The minister has been charged in connection with the crimes. His attorney, in a statement to Wichita television stations KWCH, asked that everyone consider Dr. Ketner's history of service to the community and the presumption of innocence to which anyone accused of a crime is entitled.
