Michael Allen Mayer is facing two counts of third-degree sexual abuse of a minor. If convicted, he could face up to 15 years behind bars.

Documents filed in Natrona County District Court state that he was a ministerial servant for a Casper-area Jehovah's Witness congregation at the time of the alleged offense. According to the Jehovah's Witness website, ministerial servants assist the church's elders. They often take leadership roles within the church.

A Casper police detective called Mayer, who allegedly said, "I wound up having sexual relations with, uh, a friend of ours," the affidavit states. "But the one I had sex with was 15."

Court documents state the girl told a forensic investigator that she and Mayer had sex on multiple occasions, including at his place of employment.

The girl further told investigators that she viewed Mayer as a father figure and mentor, court documents state.

But JWs say that Elders and Ministerial Servants are not like that.  Well the court will examine evidence and it seems that the man has admitted it already, so let the Superior Authorities do their job. 

But this bit is good to read :

According to an affidavit of probable cause, a Casper police officer took a sex offense report via telephone on August 18. The caller reportedly told police that he had a meeting at the Jehovah's Witnesses church Kingdom's Hall on August 17. During that meeting, it was disclosed that Mayer had sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old girl, court documents state.

I presume that this was an Elder reporting it.  Whomever reported it did the right thing.  This should happen every time.
