Church volunteer accused of molestation

"It could happen to anybody anywhere” – Detective Rick Decker.

RobertPosey This the second church bus driver turns child molester this month. I hope it is not a new trend.

Robert Posey, 39, is facing a charge of child molestation for allegedly having sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl he met at church…

…While Posey and the girl met at church, the alleged abuse happened at Posey's apartment in the Deming Center. That's where the victim claims Posey had sexual intercourse with her.

I propose a new rule – Never let your kids ride alone on the church bus. And, Posey’s neck looks odd. I don’t trust him. What do you think the chances are that Pastor Thomas Manbeck of the Good Shepherd Baptist church did a background check on Posey? I’m betting zero.

According to news accounts, Manbeck claimed a background check was done. Probably saying that so he won't look as bad in the press. I know first hand as a former member that background checks were done regularly as standard procedure for anyone volunteering in any capacity regardless of whether the position involved contact with children or not. However, since I am no longer there and the staff members who performed these functions resigned over a year before this happened, I have no idea whether they still actually do. As for Posey, he was someone who came and went over the years. Was not attending regularly before I left. Manbeck probably called him up & begged him for help. Just speculation on my part, but that is Manbeck's style. Not one to take no for an answer and will lay the biggest guilt trip on you.
