DUBUQUE (KWWL) –
A Dubuque man is accused of inappropriate behavior with a minor he met doing mission work for a Dubuque Catholic church.
49-year-old Robert Buss appeared in court Tuesday morning on a charge of Dissemination of Obscene Material to a Minor.
Buss allegedly sent nude photos of himself to a young Haitian man and may have engaged in sex acts with him while on a mission trip to Haiti.
Buss led several mission trips there through St. Anthony Catholic Church in Dubuque.
The Dubuque Archdiocese released a statement Tuesday in response to the morning’s proceedings, saying it has no reason to believe Buss was inappropriately involved with any of St. Anthony’s students. Anybody with information contrary to that belief is urged to contact Dubuque law enforcement officials.
