There's more wrong with this picture than I could possibly state, but for starters it's disgusting, immoral, unbiblical, foolish, and shameful.Ruining a young girl's life, poisoning her faith, and putting her health at risk aren't actions that ought to lead to a new career doing important administrative duties at Dad's church. keelyFrom: deco at moscow.comTo: vision2020 at moscow.comDate: Wed, 4 Apr 2007 08:54:26 -0700Subject: [Vision2020] What is wrong with this picture?

Accused youth pastor can keep working at church
Associated
Press April 4, 2007
POCATELLO, Idaho – A youth pastor charged with sexually abusing a minor may
continue to work at the church where the crime allegedly occurred, a judge
says.
Joshua J. Robinson, 29, was charged in February with two counts of lewd
conduct with a minor and one count of sexually abusing a minor for allegedly
abusing a teenage girl starting when she was 15 years old.
Because of the charges, a no-contact order was issued directing Robinson to
stay away from the girl. But last month, 6th District Judge Peter McDermott
modified the order, allowing Robinson to return to his job as a youth pastor at
Gate City Christian Church in Chubbuck. Robinson is still prohibited from
contacting people younger than 18.
On Monday, Bannock County Deputy Prosecutor Cleve
Colson asked the judge to reconsider the change. One of the charges against
Robinson allegedly took place at the church, Colson said, and the prosecutor's
office is worried that the youth pastor still has access to minors at the
church. Robinson also is allegedly still participating in a church Web site that
is frequented by the congregation's youth, Colson said.
A phone call to the church's senior pastor, John Robinson, was not
immediately returned. John Robinson is Joshua Robinson's father, a church
receptionist said.
Joshua Robinson's attorney, Aaron Thompson of Dial, May & Rammell in
Pocatello, said the younger Robinson is no longer handling youth ministries at
the church and instead is doing administrative duties that don't involve contact
with young people.
McDermott said Robinson could continue to work at the church. A trial has
been scheduled for June 26.
