ST. CHARLES, Mo. (KSDK) – The St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged a 35-year-old area pastor in reference to a child pornography investigation.
According to court documents, the St. Charles County Cyber Crime Task Force searched a home in the 5000 block of Danielle Drive for evidence of child pornography. Authorities found on a computer nine images of young girls between the ages of 9 and 13 in various poses and exposing themselves.
Prosecutors said the homeowner, identified as Matthew Luetke, confessed to being the sole operator of said computer, adding he’d developed a habit of viewing child pornography. Luetke further admitted to touching himself while viewing said images.
Luetke, a pastor at the Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church in O’Fallon, told police he had exposed himself and allowed his genitals to be touched by female relatives when they were pre-school age when the family was living in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Those incidents are said to have occurred between 2004 and 2008.
