OKLAHOMA

Donnie Ray Schultz is a self-employed repairman by trade, but in his spare time, he used to volunteer as a religious teacher at an Oklahoma church.
As KFOR News reports, the 45-year-old was arrested outside his home December 18 for a crime that has since stunned the church community.
A Calvary Christian Church spokesperson tells the Oklahoman they’re in utter shock:
“While (Schultz) led a small group Bible study on church doctrine, he was one of seven members who took turns teaching the class. The class was for adults only, but apparently some participated in the class before they were eighteen. (He) was never in any paid, employee relationship with the church. He (led) the discipleship class as a volunteer.”
The victim – a teen – told investigators that Schultz would sometimes record their time together on his computer and cell phone.
