"PJM - Phillip Jerome Meemken: As the head of the Police Explorer program, Phillip Meemken mentored young people interested in law enforcement, but investigators say off the job he was sexually abusing kids. He spent 18 years with the Stearns County Sheriff's Office (since 1982), and had 25 criminal charges including criminal sexual conduct and furnishing alcohol to minors. He was looked at in Jacob's case because of his previous pedophile record, and people had called in tips about him because of his similarity to the suspect sketch with the hat. "

Does anyone know if he's still a POI? He sure looks like that sketch.
I can't believe he got such a light sentence for a 4th degree.
It mentions the Boy Scouts in the SCTimes also. Was he a BS leader?
Why would they continue to pay him, and how could he file a Chapter 7, when he had almost 250K?
Not a POI.
Fourth degree is a very low charge. Maybe Touching?
First degree is the most serious.
He would have been considered innocent until proven guilty. In positions such as his and teachers, for instance, one is instantly removed from the job and put on leave.
As a teacher, you have insurance for lawsuits, but it is my understanding they do not pay unless you are found to be innocent.
Don't know about LE.
