The petition is against the lenient sentence of a probation period proposed by a judge in Iowa.
The Pastor is a Brent Girouex ( Victory Fellowship Church. who was found guilty of raping four boys with the excuse that he was "raping away the gay." He allegedly told the police that "when they ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind. Further, he claimed that his prayers during intercourse would also 'pray away the gay.
Another eight boys came forward during the police investigation.
Girouex was found guilty and sentenced to 17 yeas gaol. Now the judge has decided to suspend the gaol sentence and subject Girouex to 5 years probation to allow him an opportunity to be treated.
