(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.
