COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa — A former youth pastor accused of sexually abusing a half-dozen boys and men has been put on probation and ordered to get sex offender treatment.
A judge told Brent Girouex “because this is a sexual abuse case, you are committed to custody of the Department of Corrections for rest of your life.”
Girouex told his victims he was trying to help them gain “sexual purity in the eyes of God,” according to court documents obtained by the KETV-TV.
Prosecutors said Girouex sexually abused the victims at their homes, and not at Victory Fellowship Church, where he worked.
