A retired pastor and former volunteer chaplain for the St. Cloud Police Department was ordered jailed in lieu of $300,000 bail today after being charged with six counts of criminal sexual conduct.

Arthur James Ree, 82, is accused of sexually abusing a girl numerous times between 1998 and 2006. That abuse occurred at Ree's residence on Wildwood Road and happened during a time when Ree was working as a volunteer chaplain for the city's police department.

Ree also was employed at the St. Cloud VA Medical Center as a chaplain from 1984-1997, said Joan Vincent, spokeswoman for the VA. She said she couldn't comment about whether there were any complaints lodged against Ree during his time there.
