Boulder police this week ticketed two pastors and two elders at Longmont’s VineLife Church for failing to report child abuse after investigators say they did not tell police about reports that a youth pastor at the church had sexually assaulted a child, despite evidence he “repeatedly confessed” to them.
Jason Allen Roberson, 35, is facing six felony charges after police said he had an “inappropriate relationship” with a teenage church member.
The victim, who lives in Boulder and is now 24, told police she and Roberson had an inappropriate relationship that began when she was 15 and continued for seven years.
Roberson turned himself in to police in September.
Over the course of the past two days, police ticketed two pastors and two church elders for failing to report the possible sex assault.
Executive Pastor Robert Phillip Young, 65, and Pastor Luke Michael Humbrecht, 30 were ticketed, as were church elders Edward Charles Bennell, 65, and Warren Lloyd Williams, 66.
