Kentucky Youth Pastor Arrested On Child Sex Charges

The Lexington Times reports:

A Lexington high school teacher, Kevin Lentz, 49, has been charged with 17 sexual offenses involving minors and has been placed on leave by the Fayette County district. Lentz, an English teacher at Henry Clay High School, was arrested and charged with 10 counts of distribution of obscene matter to a minor, seven counts of use of a minor in a sexual performance (under 16), and six counts of tampering with physical evidence.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports:



In a letter to families Tuesday, Henry Clay High School Principal Corye Franklin said the Lexington Police Department informed leaders “a teacher on our staff was arrested off campus.” Lexington’s Faith Lutheran Church Pastor Dana Lockhart said Lentz had been a volunteer in the youth program, but was not on staff. He’ll be removed from his volunteer role under church policies pertaining to child protection, he said.
