Youth pastor Steven Bowers arrested

StevenBowersSteven M. Bowers was a high school girls soccer coach by day and a youth pastor by night. Yet nobody saw his arrest coming. He allegedly raped to young girls. At least the victims were not his student athletes. That would have been horrible. He allegedly raped two other girls.

In addition to the rape charges, Steven M. Bowers Jr., 32, who lives in the town of Orange, was indicted on six counts of taking indecent liberties and two counts of sexual object penetration.

According to Orange County Commonwealth’s Attorney Diana Wheeler, the victims live in Spotsylvania County. They are now teenagers and were never students at Orange High School, where Bowers had a part-time job coaching the girls soccer team.

The church, Salem Fields Community Church, was quick to add that the rapes occurred before Bowers was hired by the church. There is no comment on the church website.

"At least the victims were not his student athletes. That would have been horrible. He allegedly raped two other girls."....do you not see what is wrong with this statement?!? Raping two other young girls isn't horrible? What would make his raping horrible is if they were his student athletes? What is wrong with you?

You have a total of 8 charges and there are actually 10 total. He was originally charged with 2 counts and indicted on 8 additional charges. No one did knew anything like this occurred or going to occurr, we were all blindsided. The two girls involved have a slight difference in age. When these alleged incidents occurred, there was something else going on which may have triggered a downward spiral. I have to type as generic as possible because I have my own thoughts on why this incidents if they did occurr did happen. Not everything is black and white in this particular situation. There are underlying factors. Let me say this, I am not saying in anyway that if it did occurr, that this is okay. All I am saying is not everything is what it seems
