Former Chapel minister, Circle C youth camp director denies sexual misconduct.
Wayne Aarum, a pastor and operator of the Circle C Ranch Christian camp in Delevan who has been accused of inappropriately touching at least 21 teenage girls in the past is now suing The Chapel megachurch for manufacturing the allegations against him to gain control of the camp’s land.
Wayne Aarum denies everything and blames the victims for misinterpreting his hugs.
Church leaders, Christian camp heads and the pastor himself were confronted with concerns about his conduct at least 20 times since 1997.
A camp employee reported concerns about Wayne Aarum's behavior to police and the Department of Health 15 years ago. They never followed up with her.
