Spencer, Iowa — A Pastor at a Spencer church has been charged with three felony counts, and two misdemeanor counts, of sexual exploitation by a counselor.
Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent In Charge Darrell Simmons, says 51-year-old Kevin Grimes was the Pastor of the Dayspring Assembly of God Church in Spencer, and the C-E-O of the Spencer Dream Center.
Simmons says the charges were not based on that complaint, but were from the investigation of others.
Grimes allegedly had text conversations of a sexual nature and also shared nude photographs of himself with people he was counseling. Investigators also learned that Mr. Grimes had also had a sexual relationship with people he counseled. Simmons says there won’t be any more charges.
Kevin Grimes turned himself in late Wednesday afternoon and posted a five-thousand dollar bond. He is due back in court on August 31st.
