BELLEVUE, Neb. —A Papillion pastor is accused of sexual assault of a child.
It’s an update to our report Monday on Clifton Wells, who’s named in a criminal complaint by the Sarpy County Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors allege Wells inappropriately touched a 14-year-old girl several times.
The alleged incidents took place in July, when Wells gave the girl a ride to pick up a job application.
According to a court affidavit, the girl said Wells told her, “I am not going to treat you like a 14-year-old; I am going to treat you like a 17- or 18-year-old.”
Wells told investigators he was counseling the girl because she was misbehaving at school, telling her he was going to “speak” to her like a 17- or 18-year-old. He said any contact with her was incidental during their conversation.
