TAZEWELL COUNTY, Ill. (WEEK/Gray News) - Tazewell County prosecutors have formally charged a pastor for allegedly sending sexually graphic photographs of himself to a minor last summer.

According to the state’s attorney’s office, Michael Ritchason, 48, has been charged with one count of distributing harmful material to a minor, a Class 4 felony.

Ritchason was the lead pastor of Riverside Community Church, and he used to be an elementary school teacher and Pekin City Council member.

Pekin police arrested Ritchason on Oct. 8, but they provided few details.

Ritchason is not in custody, according to Tazewell County Jail staff

You think only leftist trannies are pedos? Or more importantly, you think someone on the right THINKS only leftist trannies are pedos?

I know hundreds of people on the "right", particularly Christians.

They are well aware there are pedo in the church and have been for decades.

Difference between them and what few lefty friends I have left is that when a "righty" sees a pedo, no matter what side of the political aisle that pedo is on, they want to see them prosecuted. Priests included. Many of these same righties disliked the most recent pope because they feld he shielded pedos from punishment.

My lefty friends, on the other hand, circle the wagons for their pedophiles. They openly celebrate their "differences" and admonish anyone that calls out their sickness, especially the tranny pedos. Anyone who dare stray from the narrative should be "Kirked" (as one former associate so plainly put it).

As a former leftist and Clinton voter, I am watching this amazing phenomenon happen right now with the Epstein files. For decades Democrat leaders held the files, but now if Trump releases them, it proves he is a pedophile, despite having no evidence that orange frick did this. Keep in mind these are the same people that openly voted for a guy who we know fricked his own daughter in the shower, turning her into a drug riddled mess. Also the same people who support child grooming, transitioning kids, and all the evil shite I listed above. But yeah, they want the "truth", but only if it gets one person. LOLOLOL

I think it’s been established for people who actually study this kind of stuff show that conservative/christian communities traditionally have higher levels of teen pregnancy, sexual assault, STDs etc.

I wouldn’t be surprised if pedophilia also was higher.

The one study we looked at compared the US to European nations and basically found that conservative households don’t talk about those topics. And in that darkness of no acknowledgement is where those bad outcomes tend to take root.

I couldn't figure out why they haven't fired him yet, and then I noticed the executive pastor is a woman. That church has a cancer that won't easily be cured. LINK

You got a source for this? Just from personal observation that sounds completely opposite of what I would think

I don't know about number or percentages, but I feel like I'm daily reading about a church with pastor or children's minister in stories like this. Demented people don't pick a side of the line, it can be anyone.
