A 49-year-old Blue Springs man is charged with lewd and lascivious conduct after allegedly fondling teenage and preteen relatives while living in Vermont, according to the Burlington Free Press.
The police reports are full of creepy allegations against Paul Cool, but this story from one of the victims is probably the most sickening:
"He told her he knew from God that she was doing things to make an evil spirit enter her in her pubic area and that he had to touch her pubic area to pray the evil out of her," the teen told police, according to the affidavit.
The alleged victim said she initially tried to tell Cool not to touch her and asked if they could just pray, but he rejected her request. She said she did not tell her mother what Cool did until this year because she "feared what God would do to her if she told anyone."
The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests claims Cool, 49, was baptized and ordained as an elder in the Vermont Mormon Church and moved to Vermont in 2005.

More than 6 million homo sapiens dwell on the earth, 75% have read jesus. One guy preaching in one single country, started that, by word of mouth. Bloggers of today have the internet with which to reach all of those people, all this at your fingertips, you can change anything, go for it bad boys!!!!!!
A very sad example of 'taking the Lord's name in vain'...using supposed revelations from God to commit travesty.
Yes, like the six Mohler men of Missouri, Paul Cool used god and the fear of god to groom and sexually abuse kids.
Their power over vulnerable adults and children is sickening.
..and the more power these men received from the church, the more threatening they became.
There is help and healing for any victims of clergy abuse. If you have been harmed by any of these men, speak up, report it to police (not the church leaders) get independent help and start to heal.

Pretending you are a Priest in order to sexually assualt kids, is like disquising yourself as a wolf so you can sneak up on sheep.
