Charges allege Twin Cities church volunteer sexually assaulted 4 children
Joshua Alirio Seeman, 50, has been charged in Ramsey County District Court with two counts of 1st-degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of 2nd-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the allegations.
Seeman is accused of sexually assaulting three boys and one girl in bathroom stalls during Sunday school while volunteering at King of Kings Lutheran Church and School in Roseville, charges state.
According to the criminal complaint, the victims include a six-year-old boy, a five-year-old boy, a four-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl.
The first report was made on April 6 and the other three were reported to police on April 7. In each instance, Seeman would either use Facebook messenger or text the parents of the children after the alleged assaults had taken place, asking if the parents needed a babysitter or about their statuses of coming to school.
Seeman was arrested on April 10.
The criminal complaint describes Seeman as a "cognitively delayed" adult.
Court documents show that he also has a pending 2022 case where he's been charged with 4th-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly luring a vulnerable adult to a bathroom and sexually assaulting them. A notice of intent to prosecute was filed in the case on April 9.
Prosecutors believe Seeman is a high risk to public safety, asking the court for him to remain in custody. He's being held at the Ramsey County Law Enforcement Center as of Tuesday.
Precautions have been put in place due to Seeman's cognitive disability. Investigators have been advised to not interview him by his brother, who is his legal guardian.
Bring Me The News reached out to King of Kings Lutheran Church and School but have not received a response. BMTN also reached out to Seeman's attorney for comment and haven't heard back.

Rehoboth man charged with assaulting pregnant woman who is now missing: What to know
A 22-year-old Rehoboth man has been arrested on charges that he assaulted a missing pregnant 18-year-old woman the day before she disappeared. Gregory Groom has been charged with aggravated assault and battery on a pregnant person, domestic assault and battery and intimidation of a witness for acts committed against 18-year-old Kylee Monteiro on Wednesday, Aug. 6, according to a written statement from the Bristol County District Attorney's Office on Tuesday, Aug. 19. Monteiro was last seen on Aug. 7, according to a post by the Rehoboth Police Department. Groom is currently being held without bail and will be arraigned on Wednesday morning, Aug. 20, in Taunton District Court. Bristol County State Police Detective Unit members and the Rehoboth Police Department are attempting to locate Monteiro, according to the Aug. 11 Facebook post by Rehoboth Police. Monteiro was last seen in the area of County Street in Rehoboth on Aug. 7, according to the post. She is approximately 6-feet tall with light brown hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a red t-shirt with "get over it" printed on the front, ripped jeans and tan boots and she may have been carrying a white bag with her belongings. The post asks anyone with information regarding her whereabouts or with surveillance video of County Street to contact Trooper Sabrina Hinchey at 508-972-1041 or Rehoboth Police Det. Paul McGovern at 508-252-3722 x 1135. WCVB-TV is reporting that Monteiro's family members say she got into an argument with her boyfriend before she went missing, and that she told them she was in fear for her safety. The DA's office did not refer to Groom as Monteiro's boyfriend in the written statement, but Monteiro's family says Groom is her boyfriend, WCVB is reporting. According to WCVB, police have searched a wooded area in Rehoboth, which is where Monteiro was last seen and near where her boyfriend lives. WCVB crews saw police carrying evidence bags while searching for Monteiro, WCVB is reporting. "I'm scared, I'm really scared," Monteiro's sister, Faith Monteiro, told WCVB. "I don't know if they have her, but some part of me feels like they do." The investigation remains ongoing by Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, Massachusetts State Police and Rehoboth Police, the DA's office said.

CityLink suspends driver after politically charged T-shirt sparks controversy
PEORIA — CityLink transit company has suspended an employee and altered its casual dress policy after a driver wore a politically charged T-shirt while operating one of the company's buses. A photo circulating on social media on Aug. 15 depicted a CityLink driver wearing a T-shirt that read "Alligator Alcatraz," referring to the nickname given to a Florida immigration detention center. The photo garnered dozens of comments across multiple social media platforms. Reactions ranged from surprise, shock, disagreement and support for the driver, who was placed on a three-day suspension from CityLink, said general manager Kofi Kisseh. "We want people to feel comfortable getting on our buses," Kisseh said. "We don't want to be put in a category that we condone such behavior." As a result of the incident, Kisseh said, the casual dress policy has been suspended indefinitely, requiring drivers to wear only CityLink-issued uniforms for the time being. "This is an unfortunate development, and this is a behavior that, as an organization, we don't condone," Kisseh told the Journal Star. "Whatever needs to be done to correct it is what I'm working on now, and I'm also looking at measures to ensure this doesn't happen again." CityLink wrote in a Facebook post on Aug. 16 the company had become aware the previous day of an unnamed bus operator wearing a shirt featuring political messaging while on duty. Kisseh did not say how the company became aware of the photo, but confirmed its validity. "Like many organizations, our dress code is more relaxed on Fridays, a policy that has consistently included our bus operators," CityLink wrote. "This matter would be addressed appropriately without delay. Among other things, we would be implementing measures to ensure that this behavior, which is already prohibited in our casual Friday policy, does not happen again." What is 'Alligator Alcatraz?' The shirt references a nickname, "Alligator Alcatraz," given to an immigrant detention center formally known as the South Florida Detention Facility in Ochopee, Florida. The facility opened in July, and has been lauded by members of the Republican Party, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, as a form of assistance to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's mass deportation efforts. The moniker refers to Florida's alligator population and the former maximum-security federal prison in San Francisco, California. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier used the phrase "Alligator Alcatraz" in a post on X announcing the detention center, which has sparked criticism from human and environmental rights advocates who allege human rights violations, harsh conditions and environmental concerns due to the center's location in the Florida Everglades. What is CityLink's dress policy? While CityLink drivers must wear official uniforms Monday through Thursday, the casual Fridays policy is meant to allow drivers a day to dress comfortably and wear what they want within reason, Kisseh said. Kisseh said drivers are required to report to dispatch before starting their shifts to receive tasks for the day and ensure their clothing is appropriate for the public. CityLink's policy already prohibits dress with divisive messaging — not only political, he said, but anything that could cause rifts, such as promoting a specific sports team. On Aug. 15, Kisseh said, the dispatcher to whom the driver reported saw the shirt, but did not know what "Alligator Alcatraz" meant and did not flag the clothing as against policy. "Looking at the amount of drivers we have on the road," he said, "it's so easy for some of these things to be hit-or-miss." However, Kisseh said the outrage is justified and he does not want any CityLink rider to feel unwelcome because of what a driver may wear. Related: 'Vile' social media onslaught follows East Peoria restaurant's inaccurate Facebook post CityLink has 'zero tolerance' for discrimination Kisseh said the incident is "unacceptable" and unprecedented in his experience with CityLink. "The damage has already been done," he said, "but you don't want people to have that impression that we don't give a damn when people behave this way. We sure do." After the photo was posted, Kisseh said the driver was placed on a three-day suspension to allow CityLink to investigate the matter and determine how to move forward, as well as to protect the driver from threats or attacks. Kisseh said CityLink will follow its outlined procedures for policy violations, and the incident is not grounds for immediate termination. Similar investigative measures would have been taken for any shirt considered divisive, he said. Kisseh showed the Journal Star an internal memo sent out to CityLink staff and drivers Aug. 18. It detailed the issue and next steps. "As a result of the supposed political message on a shirt worn by one of our operators on this date, there were numerous online responses and comments from the community," the memo said. "Most of these comments have rightfully raised concerns about the fact that, as a public transit organization, CityLink must refrain from any such impressions that deviate from promoting our goal of safe, efficient and exceptional customer service to our community." In the memo, Kisseh also said all CityLink employees are to be treated with respect, and emphasized the company's "zero-tolerance" policy for discrimination or harassment. Peoria food inspections: 'Many flies and insects' and bare hands on food "This is a public organization, and what we do here, we run on what support we get form the community in terms of funding and all of those things," Kisseh said. "So you don't want anything that will alienate any group. Everyone should feel comfortable getting on our buses." CityLink staff and drivers likely will undergo sensitivity training and education moving forward, Kisseh said, as many of the driver's colleagues and CityLink staff also took offense to the shirt's messaging. "Whatever lessons we're learning from this to make sure that it doesn't happen again," Kisseh said, "I'm taking those things seriously."
