A senior pastor at a Cedar Rapids church was one of nine men arrested Friday
in a prostitution sting.
Rev. Jonathan L. Offt, 41, of Cedar Rapids, the senior pastor at Trinity
Lutheran Church, was the first person arrested in the operation conducted by
the Marion Police Department and the Iowa Division of Criminal
Investigation, police said. All of the men responded to an advertisement on
a website and arranged to meet an undercover female officer who was posing
as a prostitute.
Marion police Sgt. Lance Miller said Offt arrived at the meeting place and
was arrested when he offered money in exchange for a sex act. Officers in
tactical gear performed the arrests.
“After that, he was pretty sullen,” Miller said.
Others arrested were: Daniel Gingerich, 37, of Marengo; Ronald Coleman, 40,
of Robins; Joseph Burke, 57, of Cedar Rapids; Michael Romanowski, 67, of
Iowa City; Steven Van Nevel, 53, of Brooklyn; Gregory Stroyls, 40, of Marion
; Donald Wedewer, 53, of Earlville; and Keith Myers, 50, of Cedar Rapids.
They all face one count of prostitution, a serious misdemeanor.
Miller said the arrests were all made during an 8-hour period on Friday.
Multiple advertisements were placed on multiple websites. Miller declined to
disclose which websites were used and the exact wording of the
advertisements.
“They were very sexual in nature,” Miller said. “You didn’t read this ad
and not know. You had to search it out, and once you found it and read it,
there was no doubt we were advertising a sexual act.”
The men responded by phone, e-mail and text message. Miller said he and DCI
agents were surprised at how quickly the men responded to the ads.
“They came very quickly,” Miller said. “It was fast, at least initially.
We were walking some of them out and there were others coming in.”
All of the men were booked at the Marion Police Department and released on a
promise to appear in court.
Marion Police Chief Harry Daugherty said internet crimes, including
prostitution, solicitation of prostitution and crimes against children are
more prevalent than most people think. The criminals don’t fit any
particular demographic, he said.
“It can be anybody,” Daugherty said. “It’s not on the profession, it’s
who they are. You’re a little surprised, but this isn’t the first, and it
won’t be the last.” |
