Affidavit: Colorado Springs pastor impregnated 14-year-old girl, she had his child

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The minister accused of sexually assaulting a teen girl had sex with her at least four times and fathered the child of the girl, who had just turned 15 when she birthed the child in September, new police documents reveal.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office said earlier this week it was looking for more possible victims of 22-year-old Romello Leach’s. Leach is a licensed minister associated with several churches that meet often at the Satellite Hotel in Colorado Springs, the sheriff’s office said.

An affidavit for Leach’s arrest says deputies first started investigating Leach in May, when a staffer at the Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center alerted the sheriff’s office to a teenage girl who had gotten pregnant by an adult man.

The girl told deputies originally the father of the child was a “friend from their church,” who was later identified as Leach. She told deputies she’d had sex with him twice: once in November 2016 inside his vehicle near her home, and again early this year at the girl’s home.

so that there will be more children around for them to molest/abuse.

Especially those polygamist cults.

Gods first commandment in Genesis wasn't "don't eat the apple". But to have a lot of sex.

With that said, you were considered old and on your way to the grave if you hit 40. So yeah, you did have younger marriages...but because you were going to croak a lot sooner. Context, every evangelicals nightmare.
