Summary
A former chef for Loaves and Fishes, a free meal program run from a church parking lot in Beaver Dam, is now facing serious sexual assault charges after allegedly manipulating a teenage girl into volunteering — only to exploit her. The program’s founders, who started it in 2008 out of compassion, learned of the accusations through the news and are reeling from the fallout. The teen reportedly told her father about the abuse and other illegal activities, prompting authorities to arrest the chef — a man with a troubling history including indecent exposure, child enticement, and soliciting prostitution.
