(Forsyth, MO) -- The former director
of Kanakuk Christian Camps was charged Monday with four counts of sex
crimes involving children under the age of 15.
Peter Daniel Newman, 33, is charged with two counts of sexual misconduct, statutory sodomy and enticement of a child.
(read the court documents in this case here)
The charges accuse Newman of criminal sexual conduct with male campers at Kanakuk Kamps in Branson between 1999 through 2009.
Court
documents say Joe White, the owner of Kanakuk Kamps, fired Newman June
8 of this year. A posting on the camp's blog in June said, "Pete
Newman is no longer with Kanakuk Kamps. He is dealing with a personal
family crisis. He has asked that you respect his privacy and not
contact him or his family, but that you keep him in your prayers."
Investigators
say boys who attended the camp said Newman had sleepovers, held Bible
studies in his hot tub where some of the sexual contact occurred, and
coaxed them into sexual acts.
A warrant for Newman's arrest was issued today, (9/15/09) according to court records.
Kanakuk Kamps were founded in 1926 and has locations in Branson and Lampe, Missouri.
