Wisconsin Pastor Charged In Unusual Self-Texting Case

Milwaukee’s NBC affiliate reports:

Gabriel Mills, a 41-year-old pastor, is accused of sending intimate photos of a victim to himself without consent in Kenosha. Mills is facing two charges of capturing an intimate representation without consent. According to the criminal complaint, the Journey Church pastor borrowed the victim’s husband’s phone to download an audiobook app and audiobook for him, but instead looked for intimate photos of the victim and then sent them to himself without permission.

The victim, her husband and their children went over to Mills’ home to attend a “life group” — a program through the church — with other members of the congregation. According to the complaint the victim went down to the basement to check on her kids and when she came back, she saw Mills clutching his phone and hiding the screen from view. They talked for a little while and during the conversation, his screen lowered just enough for her to see an intimate photo she took of herself.

Read the full article. Mills reportedly later sent the husband a photo of his own wife, apparently also nude, claiming that was the photo the victim had seen. This is definitely one of the more unusual pastor/sex crime stories. Hit the link.
