John Calvin Hegedus, 32, a religion teacher at Holy Name Catholic School in San Antonio, Texas has been indicted by a grand jury on allegations that he solicited a 15-year-old boy for sex and traveled to Seguin, Texas to sexually assault him.

A Guadalupe County grand jury has indicted Hegedus on two counts of on-line solicitation of a minor and two counts of attempted sexual assault of a child.

Hegedus was arrested in April when he arrived at the home of a boy that he had allegedly sent nearly 100 text messages to on Easter Sunday. It is alleged that some of the messages were sexually explicit, using graphic detail to described specific sex acts he wanted to perform on the boy.

Hegedus came to the attention of police when the boy’s parents called regarding the alleged text messages. Officers responded to the text messages and allege that Hegedus came to Seguin believing he would be having sex with the boy.

Reportedly, Hegedus was a seminarian at St. James Catholic Church in Seguin over the summer of 2007, and investigators said in court documents he had maintained contact with the boy and his family for two years.

Since his arrest, Hegedus has been held in the Guadalupe County Jail in lieu of $200,000 bond.

If convicted he faces a minimum of 2 years in prison and a maximum of 20 years in prison on each of the two most serious counts and from 2 to 10 years in prison on each of the remaining counts.

07/21/09 – Guilty Plea and Sentencing

John Calvin Hegedus was scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on Monday, however he entered into a plea deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to on-line solicitation of a minor.

During his court appearance Hegedus admitted he sexually solicited a Seguin area boy in text messages last Easter Sunday.

If the judge accepts the plea deal, and it appears it will be accepted, Hegedus will be placed on 10-year deferred adjudication probation and prosecutors will drop a charge of attempted sexual assault of a child.

Sentencing is set for late August and the judge lowered Hegedus’ bail from $300,000 to $5,000 Monday and Hegedus was released on bail to await sentencing.

10/20/09 – Formal Sentencing

In accordance with the plea agreement, John Calvin Hegedus has been sentenced to 10 years of deferred adjudication probation.

The judge warned Hegedus that if he does not successfully complete probation, he faces up to 20 years in state prison.

Kerry Lynn McJunkins, 38, of Lexington, Kentucky has been arrested on a warrant from Douglas, Arizona where McJunkins is alleged to have molested two boys in the late 1980’s.

Reportedly McJunkins was a teacher at a private school operated by the Bible Baptist church in Douglas, Arizona. At the time McJunkins was reportedly 18-years-old. One of the alleged victims was 10-years-old when the sexual abuse allegedly started in 1987. It is further alleged that McJunkins sexually abused this victim for four years.

James Pitts who reportedly has been the pastor of the Bible Baptist church in Douglas for the last 30 years says he hired McJunkins in the late 1980’s and fired him in 1991, after McJunkins became very arrogant and his behavior changed.

The alleged victim has been quoted in media reports as saying, “Everything I’ve done in my life has been affected by what he has done to me. I was threatened and I was scared, and it carries over you when you’re young and it carries with you until your older but at one point I realized he couldn’t hurt me any longer.”

The alleged victim came to this “realization” in 2006 and went to police with his complaints about McJunkins.

Little if any information has been released on the second alleged victim.

Immediately following McJunkins arrest by Lexington Police he was held on $100,000 bond. He was subsequently released on $20,000 cash bond to await an extradition hearing in which Arizona authorities will seek to have him returned to Arizona to face charges.

Reportedly police were tipped off to McJunkins’ location by his alleged victims, who tracked him down in Kentucky.

McJunkins was working at a Lexington church, but church officials indicated that his role did not put him in contact with children.

07/21/09 – Guilty Plea and Sentencing

Kerry McJunkins has entered into a plea deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty to one count each of molestation of a child and sexual conduct with a minor. As part of the plea deal, six additional charges were dismissed.

McJunkins was sentenced to five years in prison, lifetime probation and required to register as a sex offender.

McJunkins was taken into custody immediately following sentencing and Cochise County, AZ jail records indicate that McJunkins is in fact currently held in the county jail.

Robert Reinhardt, 44, the former Dean of Students at The Gunnery in Washington, Connecticut has reportedly been arrested on allegations of the sexual assault of three victims, at least one of whom is a male student.

Reinhardt is reportedly charged with various counts, including second-degree sexual assault, one count of fourth-degree sexual assault and two counts of risk of injury to a minor.

At his arraignment this morning bond for Reinhardt was reportedly set in the amount of $750,000 and he was subsequently released on bond.

Reinhardt came to the attention of authorities in June when a student told his mother that a teacher brought him to the teacher’s room and touched him inappropriately. The mother called state police who obtained two warrants to search the teacher’s dormitory and sent evidence to the state forensics laboratory for testing. Over the course of their investigation, state police reportedly found three victims, two of whom are under 16 years of age.

When asked, Reinhardt said he had no comment about the allegations and his attorney, William Dow, said the claims are all false.

A spokesperson for The Gunnery said Reinhardt no longer works at the private college prep school.
